The number of Planets estimated in this Universe has been compared to the grains of sand in the entire world. Wanting to be more accurate (I had stated "trillions" in this post), I checked if there's an actual estimate, and here's something fairly official from Live Science:
"If our galaxy has around 100 billion planets, and there are one
trillion other galaxies, and each of them probably has as many planets,
we can multiply that together to get 100 sextillion planets in the
universe," Popinchalk said. (That's a 1 followed by 23 zeroes.)
"Trillions" is no where near even 1 sextillion 😆
Posting this one from The Space Race as it has ~ like their previous report ~ a good account of The Visitor (that's what I've been calling 3I/Atlas), including some nice explanations.
Here's the link to the video:

A point I would like to make is ummmm.....advanced civilisations would not use primitive rocket-based propulsion systems 😉
And coming back to C₂ (or lack thereof) ~ I didn't want to mention it before but will do so now because it's just a non-expert opinion (that's my caveat). Our carbon-rich existence in this realm (including our biology) is related to our density. As we evolve into the next phase, we will become less carbon-based and more silicon.
As for the Wow Signal ~ well....almost 5 decades have passed and a large portion of the public is still in denial, still believing that we are so special that out of trillions of Planets in just one (out of numerous) Universe, no other Life exists. Except bacteria or virus or some primordial single-cell creatures. Wow indeed. Well done, Society, Media and Religions! OK mini rant over 😄
"The truth is out there" cue X-files music....
Namarie! 💙
