Can a Living Creature Be as Big as a Galaxy?
http://m.nautil.us/issue/51/limits/can-a...-galaxy-rp

Why life is constrained to be about the sizes we see on Earth.



Sounding the Drums to Listen for Gravity’s Effect on Quantum Phenomena
http://fqxi.org/community/articles/display/222

A bench-top experiment could test the notion that gravity breaks delicate quantum superpositions.



Watching the Observers

Accounting for quantum fuzziness could help us measure space and time—and the cosmos—more accurately.

Is there are sweet spot where artificial intelligence systems could have the maximum amount of consciousness while retaining powerful quantum properties?

To build the ultimate artificial mimics of real life systems, we may need to use quantum memory.

I'd say no to a life form the size of a Galaxy. Life I'm not so sure about. If every solar system in every galaxy housed at least a set of microbes then what could be said of life in general? Some sort of cosmic field or solution containing the universe, a place where it (life) can touch down? I just type it, I don't necessarily believe it.
