Kardashev scale

The **Kardashev scale** is a method of measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement based on the amount of energy they are able to use. The measure was proposed by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev in 1964.

## civilisation types

### type 0

A **Type 0 or K0** civilization extracts its energy, information, raw-materials from crude organic-based sources (i.e. food/wood/fossil fuel); pressures via natural disaster, selection, and societal collapse creates extreme (99.9%) risk of extinction; it is capable of orbital spaceflight; in fiction, societies that fail to improve social conditions, environmental and medical understanding concurrently with other advancements, frequently accelerated their own extinction. 21st-Century Earth is a Type 0 civilzation.

### type I

A **Type I** **or K1** civilization has mastered all the energy available to their home planet, available from a neighboring star. It extracts its energy, information, and raw-materials from fusion power, hydrogen, and other "high-density" renewable-resources; is capable of interplanetary spaceflight, interplanetary communication, mega-scale engineering, and colonization, medical and technological singularity, planetary engineering, world government, trade and defense, and stellar system-scale influence; but is still vulnerable to extinction.

### type II

A **Type II or K2** civilization has control over their solar system, and/or theoretically is able to harness all the power available in a single star. It extracts fusion energy, information, and raw-materials from multiple solar systems; it is capable of evolutionary intervention, interstellar travel, interstellar communication, stellar engineering, terraforming, and star cluster-scale influence; the resulting proliferation and diversification would theoretically negate the probability of extinction.

### type III

A **Type III** civilization extracts fusion energy, information, and raw-materials from their galaxy; it is capable of intergalactic travel via wormholes, intergalactic communication, galactic engineering and galaxy-scale influence.

This Type is the final Type of civilization in the original proposal of Kardashev Scale.

### type IV

A **Type IV** civilization harnesses the power of its own supercluster of galaxies and be effectively immortal and omnipotent. A civilization this advanced could tap into the mysterious dark matter and manipulate the basic fabric of space-time. Their capabilities may include Instantaneous matter-energy transformation, teleportation, and time travel.

### type V

A **Type V** civilization would be advanced enough to extract energy from the whole of it's their univerese. Such a civilization would have mastered technology to a point where they could build a custom universe. Once a Type V civilization has achieved this height, they would have to have mastered the physics of different universe and thus almost complete control over all basic parts of nature. Devices such as the monolith would be examples of their technology.

### type VI

A **Type VI or K6** civilization exists in the multiverse and is capable of creating and maintaining the fundamental laws of universes. They exist in an infinite amount of simultaneously existing multiverses that represent an infinite amount of time-based outcomes and inter-universal laws for every one. They can also be regarded as *paraversal* as they exist outside or in *parallel* to the space-time continuum.

### type VII

A type V**II or K7** civilization would travel, transcend and ultimately oversee or ''be'' the Omniverse which is the collection of every single universe, multiverse, megaverse, paraverse, dimension (alternate or pocket) and realm. Everything is in the Omniverse, and there is only one Omniverse.

It is likely that such power would come from an individual rather than a civilization, as the civilization would have transcended and merged into a single mind that would encompass all thoughts and all timelines, thus being omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. This is the Creator: a god above all gods, responsible for all of existence, past and future.

### type VIII

An type VIII civilization would be able to exit its omniverse, and travel to another dimensions, each of them having their own omniverse. They cannot go to the multidimension, megadimension, paradimension or omnidimension, however, they have little access to the multidimension.

### type IX

A type IX civilization could be able to explore the paradimension, the megadimension, and the omnidimension, where in the omnidimensions, all dimensions are discovered. A civilization so large could create and destroy multidimensions, and more.

### type X

A Type X civilization is the godlike stage. It has explored every universe, multiverse, megaverse, omniverse, dimension, multidimension, megadimension and omnidimension and have colonized every galaxy, star and planet of it. We are one of the most powerful civilizations along with other Type X. At this stage, maybe the godlike being (whom we will be calling God from now on for convenience) will contact us or find us. So, at this point, we may have already KNOWN Extra-Terrestrial Lifeforms, we might declare war on another Type X Civilization if they present hostile activity (taking one of our planets, attacking Trade Routes, etc.) and would likely be a revolution, hence the fact that this would be our FIRST real Intergalactic War.
