Kardashev Scale: Type of Human Civilization
Everything was made due to singularity according to Science. From that moment the universe, galaxies, solar systems, planets and other stellar objects had been created that occupy the vastness of space. Among all stellar objects and planets that present in universe, humanities able to determine that planet Earth is the best planet that can sustain life, human knowledge is not that advance right now to understand the whole universe but in the future there will be lots of knowledge and discoveries can be found beyond our imagination. From the beginning of human existence, our ancestors manage to adapt in environment by relying on their instincts and ther skills to survive.
As time goes by, our ancestors manage to create stone tools, create their own writings, build magnificent structures that until now still intact, we can see in the past that humans able to survive the harsh conditions of this planet and learn something new, due to their curiosity there are lots of unlocked knowledge that brings changes in human history. As time goes by, genius humans was born and their curiosity hits them and invented lots of things, some of them accidentally discovered a possibility that truly changes this world. There are lots of inventors and scientist that contributes many knowledge in this world like Einstein.
Which considered as one of the smartest human in history that proposed many theories for us to understand the cosmos like the theory of Relativity which states that time and space is 4th dimension and manipulated by gravity, by this theory many conspiracy theories shows that time traveling is possible with the use of 4th dimension which is time and space. At year 1990s the industrial revolution started that brings humanity into new level of discoveries and invention, steam engines, transportations, machines are born that made human lives easier.
That's the stepping stone for humans to discover and move into new level of inventions which is advancement of technology, computers, micro chips, digital devices, modern technological equipments that more on efficient and reliable to use by humans. We can truly see how humans made advancement since it's existence and we can see the domination of humans in the future. Have you heard about Kardashev Scale? it's a method of measuring civilizations level of technological advancement based on the total energy usage of the civilization.
This scale is exponential and hypothetical in regards of energy consumption in cosmic scale. The scale was proposed by Nikolai Kardashev and it was modified by Carl Sagan that we currently used to scale the type of civilization we have right now. Currently we are already at type 1 civilization but I'll discuss all the types of civilization for yoy to understand what would be the human life in the future or we can achieve the God level of intelligence.
Type 0 (Pre-planetary)
In type 0 civilization humans are able to extracts energy from the planet like energies from the sun, electricity, other resources, coals that can be dig underground, gathering a energy from natural phenomena like lightning which generates millions of volts. In this type, humans are able to travel beyond its home planet using of transportation like cars, planes, boats, etc. It's been a decade since we already passed this type of civilization but we can't truly say that we already moved into new level since we are still in this type and maybe a few more decades we can finally moved to type 1 civilization.
Type 1 (Planetary)
In this type of civilization humans can use and store the equivalent of all the energy in and reaching its home planet, in this type we are already interplanetary which means we are moving in this type since we humans able to harvest and store different kinds of energy that our planet can produce such as solar coming from the sun, thermal energy, hydro that generates from turbines and water, geothermal energy, biomass, nuclear, and many more.
We are able to extract those energy and use by humans in order to sustain the energy needs of growing human population. In this type we already manage to discover and travel in space like what scientist doing right now. There are astronauts sent into other planets like Mars to conduct a study if it's possible to sustain life like earth. Also, using of probes and satellites, it's travel in pathway of universe hoping to find terrestrial planets that had possible existence of H2O and life is present.
Type 2 (Stellar)
in this type of civilization maybe a hundred years later, humans able to harness total energy equivalent of an entire Star's output and become interstellar. It means that in this type of civilization we are able to harness every piece of energy in this planet and elements present to it such as gold, silver, iron, etc. Also we are technologically advance to the point that we harnessed all the energy that our Sun gives using of those swarm of probes around the sun. It's sad to say that our home planet is destroyed but humans manage to establish civilization in moon or Mars and continue living.
Type 3 (Galactic)
In this type of civilization maybe humans already discovered other life forms like aliens and we are able to communicate and interact with then. We already living with them in a space station and manage to visit many planets using of space ships that can travel on speed of light. Like we saw on star wars movies, we are able to live with other celestial beings and tehcnogical advance. Also we can control energy equivalent of an entire galaxy and become intergalactic.
Type 4 (Universal)
We can control the energy equivalent of our home universe and have instantaneous travel and manipulate the fabric of space time.
Type 5 (Multiversal)
In this type we already escape our home universe and manage to travel along other multiverses, in this time maybe we humans proven the existence of multiverse and we are able to meet our other self in infinite numbers of parallel universe. Also in this type we are able to time travel in the future.
Type 6 (Megaversal)
It is where the infinite amount of simultaneous multiverse and instances exist and we already acquired unlimited space time travel.
Type 7 (Omniversal)
It is where God level travel and manipulator of all universe, multiverse, and megaverses exist. In this type we already acquire the knowledge and power that God had and we are able to control anything under us.
Final Thoughts
It's great to understand different types of civilization but sad to say that to those advancement we achieved, we are sacrificing our home planet and many interstellar objects will be harnessed by humans in the future. We can predict that humans will become half robots in the future in order to adapt the new environment we are in since planet earth will no longer exist. I hope you learn something from this, I made a research about it and I didn't expect to write it for more than an hour.
What if there is really some human civilization out there in the universe eh, what if they are more advance than us hehe, I really wished that I could still see the great evolution lol.
