Comment on The Orbit of Planet Nineparent

Do other systems have oort clouds or are their’s also something we cant see from this far

The only physical evidence we have they exist are comets that occasionally show up in the inner solar system where we could observe them which have orbits that are not interstellar but would put them as going incredibly far out. From that we can extrapolate that they likely exist around every star but there is no way we could verify that with our current technology since any light reflected off the objects would be far too faint to detect.
