Kardashev Scale Wiki

## Welcome to the Kardashev Scale Wiki

The **Kardashev scale** is a method of measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement, based on the total energy usage of a civilization. The scale is exponential and hypothetical and regards energy consumption on a cosmic scale. It was proposed in 1964 by Nikolai Kardashev and modified in 1973 by Carl Sagan, which is the scale we use.

The purpose of this wiki is to include an exhaustive list of sapient human and alien civilizations with an attempt to classify their origins, existence, technologies, computing level, energy usage, longevity, travel, possibility of extinction, and so on. *When categorizing civilizations, we take factors like data usage, travel capabilities and sub-type predictions into account, in addition to energy usage.*

This wiki is a fusion of real science, theoretical science, hypothetical science, and futurism. There are many futures, or infinite futures, so grab a chair and enjoy this content with an open mind. Come chat on our Facebook Group or on Discord.

Commercially published books, movies or games must be cited, and links to their Fandom pages are encouraged. Fiction is allowed, but must feel as a natural extension and not contradict a pre-existing page. Alternatively, content can be taken from established fiction and/or non-fiction.

A sci-fi book about accelerated evolution and near-future real and hypothetical science can be found here.

### Civilization categories of the scale:

There are also Microdimensional categories of the scale proposed by John Barrow. This reverses the classification downward from Type I-minus to Type Omega-minus.

In an attempt to classify all of existence using the concept of realms, the scale has been extended thus:

**Navigation to Kardashev Type**

```
 Omniverse: Type 0 - Type I - Type II - Type III - Type IV - Type V - Type VI - Type VII
Hyperverse: Type VIII - Type IX
Outerverse: Type X - Type XI - Type XII - Type XIII
   Adverse: Type XIV - Type XV - Type XVI - Type XVII - Type XVIII - Type XIX
    Beyond: Type XX. This is the final official type.
