I believe sodom meant 4 *hundred* billion stars in our galaxy, which is one
of 100 billion other galaxies in our universe.

By considering several factors, we can crunch numbers and roughly (and
conservatively) estimate that there may be 10,000,000 other advanced
civilizations in our Milky Way galaxy alone.
