how do you explain frequency modulation radio to a species that has no organs capable of receiving radio waves? thats impossible!

I would propose that if science has been unified enough to allow for the creation of things like resource converters and quantum reactors, that any technology that follows the laws of physics (even if they end up being different from what we understand now) could be created by any race. it would just require a litte more work for some. organic creatures could be constructed one amino-acid at a time, until you have complex protines and cells. anything that requires a device to operate could be replicated. i dont care if things would have to be reverse engineered by stripping off layers one atom at a time, it could be done.

The only possible exception is if religious tech works because there really is a god, and the other techs work because there really is magic.
