Is There Any Life on Venus?

There have been energy metabolisms proposed the life on venus, if it exists, would be able to use based on what we know is the atmosphere. The main feature in the sulphur chemist ry in the crowds of venus that currently is not fully explained could potentially be indicative of a biosphere using suggested metabolisms. So how do you test whether life is there and altering the atmosphere by these metabolisms? By doing computer simulations where we couple the metabolism occurring due to a biosphere in the cloud layer with the full atmosphere of venus. We found that actually, whilst each metabolism that was proposed could reproduce the observations of this sulphur dioxide being sucked out of the atmosphere, what
