Typ o civilation4/1/2023 As a Type 3 we will traverse the galaxy and will, along the way, meet many other technologically advanced civilizations.Īnd then to attain Type 4 we will reach much further into the future, to 12000 A.D. ![]() we will have harnessed the energy of every star in the Milky Way, another 100-billion-fold energy increase. We will be extra-solar inhabiting planets on many nearby stars.īy 3000 A.D. We will have harnessed nanotechnology and warp drive propulsion and will be a civilization of this world and off this world.īy 2200 A.D., a mere century later we will approach Type 2, harnessing all the energy of our Sun, another 100-billion-fold increase. We will capture all the solar energy that reaches Earth increasing our energy supply by a factor of 100-billion. as Kaku predicts we will approach a Type 1. So if Kaku is right then here are speculations on human civilization’s evolution.īy 2100 A.D. ![]() Would we evolve into pure energy? Would a Type 4 civilization be immortal and omnipotent. Such a civilization would be unrecognizable to us as such because it would be indistinguishable from the Universe itself. By then we will have harnessed the energy of our entire galaxy and spread throughout.Ī Type 4 civilization will harness dark and extra-galactic energy. To get to Type 3 we will tap into the energy of black holes and even find the other side, the white holes, that propel matter outwards. We may even build Dyson spheres to encase stars, (see image below), to capture all the energy for the civilization residing within them. We will no longer be confined to living in proximity to a single star, but to many. We will harvest star matter and use it as we see fit. To get to Type 2 we will maximize the use of antimatter as an energy source. How? Through harnessing of fusion, and antimatter. The renowned theoretical physicist, Michio Kaku, has speculated on Kardashev’s scale and believes humanity will attain Type 1 status within a century or two. He categorized each of these stages as Type 1 through Type 4.īased on Kardashev’s speculations where does our civilization sit today? We are Type 0, somewhere between 0.7 and 0.72 producing 15 Terawatts of energy, a mere fraction of the energy a Type 1 would harvest from the physical world. Technological advances, according to Kardashev, could theoretically create conditions where a society could maximize use of energy: first, maximizing the energy striking a planet from its local star second, maximizing all the energy emitted by a local star, not just that which falls on that civilziation’s planet third, maximizing the energy derived from all the stars in that civilization’s galaxy and fourth, maximizing the energy from all the galaxies and intergalactic medium within the entire Universe. They are likely to no longer have physical bodies, having converted themselves to energy or other noncorporeal forms, allowing themselves to somehow influence entire galaxies.J– Nikolai Kardashev, a Soviet astrophysicist born in 1932, devised a method of rating advanced civilizations. The following examples are a different type of civilization from the ones previously mentioned. ![]() Grox - Control thousands of star systems surrounding the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.The Maltusians of Oa (including the Guardians of the Universe and their agents, the Green Lantern Corps).IE, civilizations with FTL drives and control over entire galaxies, or with abilities to affect the universe on the planetary scale. They are estimated to be type III based on the scope of their influence and technology. In these examples, the exact power consumption of their entire civilizations is often unknown. ![]() Type III Civilizations are civilizations that have control over at least an entire galaxy, and theoretically are able to harness all the power available in that galaxy or those galaxies. An illustration of a Type III Civilization.
