We have no parameters for any of the terms in any model of this, so we have no idea how likely or unlikely it is.

  exactly. GP's comment is wild speculation purporting to be fact. would be nice if they could provide some justification

    We can scan the known universe, mapping the positions of galaxies and filaments composed of those galaxies in the grander scale. We can detect blackhole collisions, but we haven't seen an iota of evidence for FLT. So there is pretty strong evidence FLT doesn't exist and is not attainable. Even if it is, it is completely justified to think that an intelligence so advanced would have no motivation to probe Jan.

      You don’t need FLT to go to the stars. You just need very long life spans or the ability to hibernate easily. OR you need crazy physicists nightmare engines like antimatter rockets. One or the other.

        Let's entertain the idea of wanting to send a few members of your very long timespan species to neighbouring star systems however suicidal it sounds. You still need a capsule that can shield you from interstellar space dust and radiation for centuries or eons. It is pretty likely you will get hit.
