According to many, there are millions of species on earth. Some say that there are millions. Whatever the number of species, there is nothing wrong with the most advanced species of human beings. Yes, there is enough truth behind this claim. Where will science and technology stop the journey to the future? The partial answer is on how long our paramour as a species is. Because of the history of life on earth is the history of extinction. There have been several mass extinctions in the world before. Today we are in a very advanced but risky situation. So how much we have progressed to the standard of civilization, how much we will progress in the days ahead, depends on the survival of the extinction.
American astronomer Carl Sagan once said that the human race is now crossing the sky in terms of technological advancements. However, whether we can reach old age depends on how much knowledge we use. Because with the number of nuclear bombs we still have, we can destroy ourselves in a moment. And even natural disasters can bring us inevitable destruction. Because we don't have the technology that can save him from the inevitable destruction.
Not only Carl Sagan, but other scientists have also tried to measure how far we have gone. They used the Kardashev scale to do this. Progress is measured based on how much fuel a civilization uses. 50 years ago, Russian astronaut Nikolai Kardashev proposed the scale of the cosmic civilization. His proposal has three types of cosmic civilization based on fuel efficiency.
The inhabitants of Type One civilization can use and control all the energy on the planet. Again, they can use this fuel to get their sun to their own planet. Human beings can be converted to Type One if we can use all the energy from the solar system to the earth. Or if we can generate and use this amount of energy.
It is estimated that we are currently using about 75 percent of the fuel. So we haven't been able to convert to type one civilization yet. Meanwhile, Kardashev did not put anything on his scale as a type zero civilization. But scientists are hopeful that we can reach type one civilization in the next 100 years by spending energy.
The use of fuel in other factors in the measurement of cosmic civilization is also a key factor and a guideline. We're going the way we spend the fuel that type one civilization spends. On the other hand, the control of the planet's fuel system means that the atmosphere, the earth, the cover, the center, the other energy of the planet. Type One civilization can control the weather, affect the climate, prevent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. They can travel to interplanetary.
The next step in Type One is type two civilization. This civilization can control the fuel of its own stars. This will enable Type One to use a few billion more fuels from civilization. They can also collect solar panels, satellites, and space from the planet beyond the stars.
They will have more life. Inter-state travel will be a great way for them. This will allow them to go to a distant planet and build colonies. Supernovas or any other accident that could destroy the entire solar system can save themselves from accidents. They can also create stars. You can move from one place to another. You can use black holes when you need them. You can make a supernova yourself. Or you can delay the supernova.
The most advanced civilization on the Kardashev scale is type 3 civilization. They have galactic power. The residents will be able to travel transgalactic and intergalactic. They can also work for themselves with the fuel of the galaxy. They can survive anywhere in the universe.
After the Type 3 civilization, Kardashev never thought of any more civilizations. However, some scientists have extended the Kardashev-scale to Type Seven. The more the civilization moves, the more the civilization's image grows.
The human community is in a vulnerable position even though up to 75 percent of the fuel is used. But if we can transform ourselves into type one civilization, the risk will be reduced a bit. So we must first stop the fear of extinction. There are some positive developments in this area. We have sent a spacecraft into space, even if it is not able to travel. There are plans to set up colonies on the moon and Mars. So we can hope that if there is a disaster in space in the next few decades, there will be some people in the universe.
We can detect it from the beginning even if we can't resist the earthquake. I can warn people accordingly. We can observe the asteroids that are around the earth. There are also initiatives to prevent them from hitting the earth or turning them around.
These developments tell us we're moving towards type one civilization. But can we get there soon? We don't have any answers. We're all optimistic though. But of course, we need to have more innovative capabilities to get there.
