Habitable planets - NOT amateur radio

There are an unbelievable number of planets believed to exist in the universe. Human consciousness should just cease when we die. The truth is we have no idea what happens. If anyone claims to know, I don't believe them.

There are estimated to be more planets in the known universe than grains of sand in the whole world!  I find this and life totally mind blowing. We really know so little.

See https://www.livescience.com/space/how-many-planets-are-in-the-universe .

It is estimated there are 100 sextillion (10 followed by 23 0s!!!) planets. This is a huge number.

Considering the huge advances in AI in just a few years, it is hard to be certain what we find is sentient life.
