If a star would be like a nucleus of the atom the Galaxy is like a cell of a living body. In a central bulge of the galaxy are hundreds billions stars like in a nucleus of the cell (depends on a sort) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome
Galaxy has a halo like a cell's cytoplasm. The globular clusters of old stars moves in halo around a center similar to granular mitochondria with a prokaryotes genomes. Mitochondria contains some tenth of thousands atoms. A dominant role for mitochondria is a cellular respiration and energy production. The role of the globular clusters in galaxy is not fully explained still. Cells and galaxies grows till it reach a maturity. The mature galaxies are similar in size like cells. A galaxy breathes by supernovae collapse and explosion.
In a galaxy is a similar number of stars like atoms in a cell.
Galaxies create the galaxy clusters like a cells create organs (stomach, heart, kidney, liver, brain...) Galaxy clusters create an Universe's filament like a human body.
A human embryo in prenatal development reach in 5 week (3 weeks from fertilization) a length of 4 mm (0,1 g). It is mainly water (oxygen) and little hydro carbonate. It is about 10^22 atoms like our present Observable Universe.
In this age has an embryo ; a brain, heart, branchial arches, lung, neural tubes , eyes, ears, arms, legs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_p...tal_development
Development of the Universe needs very long time period. Is there a test field on the Earth to verify all future possibilities of the development ?
this is quite interesting...As above so below
Although the universe is mighty pissed that you attempt to label it "living"
The universe is not living anymore than we are.

The universe is not living anymore than we are.
The universe does not adapt to its environment.
The universe does not respond to external stimuli.
The universe does not reproduce (have offspring).

Is Our Universe A Living Being
The dense stars, the black holes in particular, are having a lotta similar aspects similar with the elementary particles behavior. But the fact, we are similar to the apes doesn't mean, we are apes, the fact, the living matter evolves on the background of the same principles, like the matter of the Universe doesn't means, the Universe is live. After all, which predictions we would expect from such hypothesis?

What is a difference between Galaxy and a living cell ?
Galaxy eats a matter from intergalactic space, makes a gasoeous nebulas, stars, nutron stars, magnetars and reproduces itself.
X-rays go into intergalactic space and supplies energy to another galaxies.
One galaxy helps to create another similar galaxy.
Galaxy has one dominant center but galaxy cluster not, there is a balance.
May be the Universe is not like a living man but there is not a chaos too.

The Aether appears to be the foamy mixture of causal and chaotic density gradients. While this foamy mixture undulates, the density of causal portion can increase accidentally, thus enabling a virtually unlimited complexity.
The electrochemical signals in neural network of human brain appears to be a Aether foam simulator as well. Here exists a strict limit to the energy density of such highly dimensional system - this complexity is a matter of low energy density fields, which are rather rare inside of our Universe. Maybe the large distance space consist from some sort of distributed intelligence. The complexity of this piece of matter requires the very large volume area of Aether to evolve, while it's possible to imagine/simulate the behavior of the substantial part of Universe.
The only question remains, what such idea is good for and how it can be verified or falsified. Even the best simulator cannot create itself.

Neutrons hold protons shells apart. ------------------------------------------------------ Protons hold electrons apart.
