    Does alien life need a planet to survive? Scientists propose intriguing possibility
    Space.com, 26 Oct 2024
    While such organisms may or may not exist in the universe, the research has important implications for future human endeavors in space.

    Interesting thoughts and ideas.
    OK, it's thoughts should be kept in mind,,,,,
    but NO, I do not think it likely that a "life"
    would be 'free ranging'.
    Thank you for posting Kym.

    I liked it because the authors seemed to ack humans know les than 5%
    of what there is to know about even the visible universe and therefore
    should be cautions when ruling anything out. :)
    --
    Life, dont talk to me about life!
    Life is composed -- as far as we know -- of atoms.
    And atoms are almost 100% empty space.
    Even protons, neutrons and the lesser ons are treated as
    information sending information to other information and
    barely esit, either.
    How can pretty much empty nothing be alive?
