👽 Drake Equation Monte Carlo: Log-Normal Uncertainty and the Chance We Are Alone (2D)

Seven Drake-equation factors, each with its own honest uncertainty, are sampled twenty thousand times to build the distribution of the number of detectable civilisations. Change each factor and the uncertainty scale, watch the histogram fill in, and read the probability that we are alone, with five in-page numerical checks.
