I don't have a clue, but I find it easy to imagine that somewhere in those vast and cold nebulae there might exist a self-replicating molecule or a non-replicating, eons old, conscious entity, something like Fred Hoyle's Black Cloud. Maybe superconductors could serve a purpose there. I think I'll just pop back in 10,000 yrs time to see what's been discovered.
