Raspberry sugar is found in interstellar space.

“The Milky Way's galactic center, as captured by the Spitzer Space Telescope in infrared. One new study has found sugar in interstellar space near the center of our galaxy.

Researchers say that this is evidence of sugar formation outside the cells. On Earth, flora forms sugar. Chlorophyll converts light and nutrients into sugars. But the same reaction can happen without cells. And that is one of the most interesting and at the same time. Disappointing findings in history. In the past, sugars were thought to be clues to life. Or some people thought that sugars were fingerprints of life. 

But new findings show something else. This means that life is more complicated than people thought. And finding life in the universe is more difficult than people thought. Those findings about the sugar in interstellar space. They are still interesting. The possibility that the sugars can form spontaneously. 

Without cells. It can mean that life itself. It can be. Quite. A common thing. But intelligent and higher organisms are rare. This means that some prokaryotes. They can be found more commonly than people thought. But higher multicelled organisms. They are very rare. 

Anyway. Those sugars cause a need to rethink. About methods to search for life. We can find new solar systems. And then we must realize that there is no common mode. That can fit all solar systems. Every solar system is, in any way, unique. And if there are other organisms. Those organisms adapted to their home planet. 

So this means that. Even hellish planets are a paradise for their endemic organisms. This doesn’t mean that those organisms can survive on Earth. Modelling the habitable planet. It's not as easy as people think. Things like water layers, gravity, and radiation. Including the type of star that it orbits and the age of the star. They determine if life is possible. But there are many variables.

That finding causes an interesting thought about life. 

The big question is always. Can there be lifeforms without planets? 

SciFi writer and astronomer Fred Hoyle introduced the possibility that all living creatures. They don’t need planets. In his novel “The Black Cloud,” Hoyle introduced an organism. That seemed like a black cloud. There is a theoretical possibility. That is the diatomic structure. It can protect living cells. The cell could remain in hypothermic or cryostatic rest while it travels through interstellar space. 

When that cloud comes to the solar system. That thermal energy. It can wake those cells back to life. The space between stars is calm. The environment is very stable. And that means the DNA and mitochondria of those cells. They can keep their form. The cell can be a vegetable cell. 

But what if we create artificial cells? That can create electricity for computers. And neurons that can communicate with microchips? That kind of system. It could be fundamental. 

Or. If we want to think about intelligent clouds. The cell can be. Hybrid neuron vegetable and fungi cell. That intelligent lichen. It could be the base for the futuristic biohybrid microchips. The fungi and algae feed the neuron. That communicates with microchips. Maybe someday we could create those systems. They might get electricity from cells that create electricity. That kind of bioelectric system. They can be futuristic computers. That can create electricity from the fertilizer. 

There is also a possibility that viruses. They can travel through interstellar space. And it's possible. That's some of those viruses. They can cause epidemics on Earth. Viruses are more likely candidates for interstellar travelers than bacteria. Viruses have no metabolism of their own. And they can keep their DNA or RNA in its form for thousands of years. If the environment is stable. And the temperature is almost absolute zero.
