Resistance

The **Resistance** is what is left of humanity in the Terminator Universe. It is a military force that fights against Skynet after Judgment Day. It is composed of an alliance of surviving professional military units and surviving militias from all nations around the world. It is led by John Connor, whom Skynet has been trying to eliminate from the timeline to prevent the creation of the Resistance. Its main purpose was to fight the Skynet and its machines, as well as preserving the human race from total annihilation. The Resistance carried out many combat missions, attacking factories and rescue humans out of Skynet Work Camps. To even the odds, they capture weapons from Skynet force and reprogram Terminators to aid in the struggle.
Santa Claus machine

A **Santa Claus machine** is any hypothetical machine that is capable of creating any required object or structure out of any given material.

### Discussion

A mature Santa Claus machine requires significant advances in technology to be possible, including the ability to take any collection of matter and reconfigure it into any other type of matter.

Scientifically, it requires two parts: a disassembler and an assembler.

One form of disassembler would consist of an ionizing chamber, which basically heats the input garbage to 43,000 °F (24,000 °C). Once all the molecular bonds are broken and the electrons ripped off, each atomic nucleus would be moved through a magnetic field, where its path would curve in proportion to its charge/mass ratio, as per mass spectrometry. The separated ions would be captured by a linear array of cold traps to provide reservoirs of each element.

The assembler would use these reservoirs as input to some kind of additive layer manufacturing device (also known as 3D printers and rapid prototype machines). Many of these printers are commercially available today—though currently few can print with more than one highly-prepared material (much less an alphabet consisting of all the raw elements).

An autonomous Santa Claus machine would presumably require a high level of artificial intelligence, though for small projects, autonomous behavior is probably not necessary. However, the "matter compiler" (that figures out which atom goes where) must be programmed appropriately—not a trivial task. A gigantic project such as a Dyson sphere would undoubtedly require not only autonomy, but also self-replication. These capabilities would enable a single Santa Claus machine, given sufficient matter and energy, to construct a project of any size.

### Nanofabricators

As of right now, these “magical” machines are still theoretical, but not in the realm of science fiction anymore. They’re similar to 3D printers, where you feed in raw materials and schematics to “print” out an object. In the same way, scientists believe these nanofabricators will be able to reproduce whatever we want, from food, to medicine, to clothing and machinery. And instead of any of it being printed from the ground up, these fabricators will instead work on a molecular level, rearranging the composition and structure of molecules in the raw materials to give us anything in the world that has a blueprint.

At first these nanofabricators will be like the first computers, as large as rooms. Over time however, these tiny factories could be miniaturised enough to fit on your desk at home. Just pour in the raw materials like dirt, water, perhaps some metal filings here and there, and you can have anything you like. Download a blueprint of the latest communication device, or your weekly diabetes prescription drug, maybe a new light-up coffee mug to replace the one you broke. The nanofabricator can then get to work tearing apart the molecules in the materials you provided, and rebuilding them into whatever you asked for.
Them

**Them** are a alien race in the Star Trek Universe. They are greater than anyone in existence, including the Q Continuum.Their race was responsible for the creation of the universe, and for the destruction of several previous universes they found insufficiently interesting or otherwise unworthy.

Type XXXII

This is an obsolete, archived page.

In the vast expanse of the Hyperverse, where realities and dimensions intersect, there exists a civilization that has reached the pinnacle of existence. They are the immortal custodians of the Brain, the enigmatic center of all knowledge and consciousness in the multiverse. Within this cosmic web of interconnected realms, they are the deities, the overseers, and the architects of existence itself.

These cosmic beings have transcended the limitations of time and space. To them, the Hyperverse, a realm that would be impossibly vast to any mortal mind, is now no larger than a subatomic particle in their omnipotent gaze. They have ascended beyond the grasp of mortality, becoming entities of boundless power and wisdom.

With their dominion over the Hyperverse, they have taken their place as the rulers of all gods, the sovereigns of everything that exists. From the birth of stars to the evolution of civilizations, they observe every facet of reality with a watchful eye. They hold the threads of fate, guiding the destinies of countless worlds and species. To the beings of lesser planes, they are the elusive, all-seeing gods, orchestrating the grand tapestry of existence.

While they safeguard the Brain, they also safeguard the balance of the Hyperverse, ensuring that chaos and order remain in equilibrium. They have unraveled the secrets of existence and harnessed the very fabric of reality itself. The mysteries of the multiverse are their playground, and the boundaries of the possible are but mere suggestions to them.

In the grand symphony of creation, they are the maestros, conducting the cosmic orchestra of existence with an expertise that defies understanding. As the kings of the gods of everything, their wisdom is immeasurable, their power undeniable, and their presence an eternal enigma that shapes the very essence of reality in the Hyperverse.

Transistor

A **transistor** is a device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power. Transistors are one of the basic building blocks of electronics.

The first to be built was in 1947 by John Bardeen and Walter Brattain while working under William Shockley at Bell Labs. The three shared the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics. They are usually made from pure silicon or germanium. Transistors revolutionized the field of electronics, and paved the way for smaller and cheaper radios, calculators, and computers, among other things.

Compared with the vacuum tube, transistors are generally smaller and require less power to operate. They were originally packaged individually, but were subsequently embedded into integrated circuits (IC). Jack Kilby won the Nobel Prize for Physics for his part in the invention of the IC. This led to Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) which is the process of creating an IC by combining millions of MOS transistors onto a single chip. The microprocessor and memory chips are VLSI devices, but now CPU, GPU, ROM and RAM can be combined into one VLSI chip.

The MOSFET (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor), also known as the MOS transistor, is by far the most widely used transistor, used in applications ranging from computers and electronics to communications technology such as smartphones. The MOSFET has been considered to be the most important transistor, possibly the most important invention in electronics, and the birth of modern electronics. MOSFETs are the most numerously produced artificial objects ever with more than 13 sextillion (13x1021) MOSFETs manufactured between 1960 and 2018.

The CNTFET (carbon nanotube field-effect transistor) uses carbon nanotubes as the channel material instead of bulk silicon in the traditional MOSFET structure. They have twice the carrier velocity over MOSFETs and about four times higher transconductance. However, MOSFETs are still preferred due to higher reliability and cheaper production cost.

**Moore's law** is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense IC doubles about every two years.

Wraith

The **Wraith** are a vampiric hive-based species that harvest the 'life-force' of humans and other humanoids in the Stargate Universe. Countless worlds in the Pegasus galaxy live in constant fear of the Wraith, who return periodically to cull their human herds. After taking their fill, the Wraith hibernate for centuries, watched over by Keepers, before they wake and feed again. It was possible that when the Lanteans seeded Pegasus with humans, it was originally an 'Iratus bug' that fed on humans and evolved into the Wraith.

They are involved in many wars with the Lanteans, Asurans and Tau'ri using inferior technology, but their numbers and powerful hive ships often allow them to turn the tide in battles and eventually dominate the galaxy.
Bubbleworld

A **Bubbleworld or Shellworld** or Ederworld is an orbiting hollow megastructure nearly half a million kilometres across, where gravity holds the structure together against atmospheric pressure just as a planet does. A core cell of gas halts its own expansion through self-gravitation. The gravity field of this core cell of gas would attract the shell/hull of the habitat to retain pressure, resulting in no net force on the shell.

Its living space is a shell of breathable gases surrounding and held up by a core cell of hydrogen and "capped" by an outer solid shell. The living space is 2,400 km deep with a surface area approximately 1,400 times that of Earth, but if the living space were divided into three and a half km high "floors" the useable volume would be about one million times that of Earth.

Its population limit is 36,000 trillion based on assumptions of energy use and black body radiation of waste heat. To control weather, "floors" are divided with vertical partitions, creating Earth sized cells 10,000 km across. There is also a steel cap which under the local acceleration of gravity of 0.02 m/s2 has to be 500 m thick to produce a force down equal to the atmospheric pressure up. Therefore, the Ederworld is a micro-gravity environment.

Eder himself did not consider the use of a thermal break between the core cell and the living space which would allow the hydrogen to expand from heating. Nor did he consider the engineering that allows humans to live comfortably in a wider range of atmospheric pressures and gas mixtures. In addition his limits due to energy use and waste heat did not take into account nanotech or active cooling technologies. As a result, space habitats built using Eder's concept are much more diverse than he might have imagined.

### Other types of shellworlds

* A planet or a planetoid turned into series of concentric matryoshka doll-like layers supported by massive pillars. A shellworld of this type is in Ian M. Banks' novel *Matter*.
* A megastructure consisting of multiple layers of shells suspended above each other by orbital rings supported by mass stream technology. This can be suspended above any type of stellar body, including planets, gas giants, stars, black holes, and even supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies.
* Freespheres are large, transparent, double-walled open bubbles filled with air. These have a free-fall ecology and a layer of water between the inner and outer walls, and a magnetic screening which provides an effective radiation shield. With a hull completely made of buckycables a Freesphere can be made much larger than a rotating habitat made of the same material; as large as 5,000 km across even with full, baseline comfortable, atmospheric pressure. Freespheres may employ complex internal environmental systems, including airwalls, fusion or conversion reactor "suns", and various feedback-based systems to promote airflow, control temperature, and manage both general humidity and larger concentrations of moisture (ranging from small "pools" to "seas" several kilometers across).
Collective consciousness

A **collective consciousness** (CC) is a set of shared beliefs, ideas, and moralities which unifies a society or even a civilization. This is a "hive mind", "group mind", "mass mind", or "social mind", and can span a planet or beyond.

A **global brain** is a planetary information and communications technology network that interconnects all individuals and their technology. As this network stores ever more information, takes over ever more functions of coordination and communication from traditional organizations, and becomes increasingly intelligent, it increasingly plays the role of a brain for a planet.

The Internet increasingly ties its users together into a single information processing system that functions as part of the collective nervous system of the planet. The intelligence of this network is collective or distributed: it is not centralized or localized in any particular individual, organization or computer system. Therefore, no one can command or control it. As it expands to a social network, information propagates from person to person. Such propagation is similar to the spreading activation that neural networks in the brain use to process information in a parallel, distributed manner. It therefore becomes much more powerful and intelligent than its constituent systems.

This concept of a "brainternet" can help large groups of people achieve time-sensitive objectives with unparalleled unison and cooperation. However, if the hive mind becomes over-used, it could lead to people losing a sense of independence and free will. Identity theft will take on a whole new meaning.

Elon Musk and Neuralink aim to create a brain-computer interface (BCI) with significantly greater information bandwidth than traditional human interface devices. These artificial intelligence systems will rapidly outpace human abilities, making it highly possible for a CC to become cybernetic in nature. An emerging metasystem of individual human intelligence together with cybernetic implants creates a network of “nerves” that interconnect subsystems and coordinate their activity. Such coordination can create a collective intelligence.

### CC Examples

* A hierarchy hive mind is the Borg Collective. Each Borg drone is linked to the collective by a sophisticated subspace network that ensures each member is given constant supervision and guidance. The collective consciousness gives them the ability not only to "share the same thoughts", but also to adapt quickly to new tactics. The Collective made decisions as a single entity. However, the Borg Queen played a role in ordering the chaos of the Collective and the information flowing in from its trillions of drones.
* An Overmind is one mind with many bodies. Drones are controlled and have no effect on the Overmind if destroyed. An example is the Orz.
* A merged mind is an individual mind made of many bodies. A loss of a body can badly affect this mind. An example is the Flood.
* A consensus consciousness is a single mind made of many individuals, and the loss of each individual can affect the mind. An example is the Geth.
Near Earth Object

A Near-Earth Object (NEO) is any small Solar System body whose orbit brings it into proximity with Earth. By convention, a Solar System body is a NEO if its closest approach to the Sun (perihelion) is less than 1.3 astronomical units (AU). If a NEO's orbit crosses the Earth's, and the object is larger than 140 meters (460 feet) across, it is considered a potentially hazardous object (PHO), and some of these if they hit Earth can lead to an Extinction Level Event (ELE).

The asteroid Apophis will make an uncomfortably close pass in 2029. Apophis is about 1,000 feet across, the size of a large football stadium, and will come so close to the earth that it will actually pass beneath some of our satellites. Depending on how the orbit of the asteroid is distorted by this close pass, it may swing back to the earth in 2036, where there is a tiny chance (1 out of 100,000) that it might hit the earth. If this were to happen, it would hit with the force of 100,000 Hiroshima bombs, sufficient to destroy an area as large as France with firestorms, shock waves, and fiery debris. By comparison, a much smaller object, probably the size of an apartment building, slammed into Tunguska, Siberia, in 1908, with the force of about 1,000 Hiroshima bombs, wiping out 1,000 square miles of forest and creating a shock wave felt thousands of miles away.

This is a major concern for the possible extinction of a Type 0 civilization, and Type I civilizations will have planetary defense systems against NEOs.
Tyranids

The **Tyranids** are an extragalactic hideous, insectoid species of the Warhammer 40k Universe. They comprise an entire space-faring ecosystem comprised of innumerable different bioforms which are all variations on the same genetic theme.

They are the ultimate predators; to them, all living things, from the lowliest insect to the most advanced starfaring civilisation, are mere prey. Only now are the inhabitants of the galaxy realizing the scale of the threat; unless the Tyranids can be stopped, it will mean nothing less than the extinction of all life.

The Tyranid species is ultimately dedicated solely to its own survival, propagation and evolutionary advancement. The Tyranids collectively form a monstrous superorganism that travels across the universe in their great hive fleets of biomechanical Hive Ships, systematically consuming all other biomatter to enable their own rapid evolution and reproduction.

The Tyranids are likened to a galactic swarm consuming everything in its path, feeding on entire worlds and leaving only dead husks in their wake. Their threat is such that an unprotected planet can be infested and stripped clean of all its organic material in a matter of solar weeks without even slowing down the advance of the hive fleet.
Tel'Quessir

The Elves of Toril, known in their own tongue as **Tel'Quessir,** are an ancient race in the Forgotten Realms Universe.

They excel in magic, are supremely aware of their surroundings, can see in the dark, and are agile and dexterous creatures. They are long-lived, achieving adulthood at 110 years of age and living for up to 700 and more. Many elves do not sleep, instead finding their rest in a meditative state called reverie or "trance", which was as restful as true sleep but left them aware of their surroundings.

The First Flowering was a period in which the elves split into five major realms and created the Isle of Evermeet. The Age of Humanity marked the decline of the elven empires and the flourishing and expansion of the human empires around the world.

Elves play a central role in Baldur's Gate.
White dwarf

A **white dwarf** is a stellar core remnant composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter with a density of about 2×109 kg/m3. They are thought to be the final evolutionary state of stars that become red giants and whose mass is not high enough to become a neutron star or black hole. Over billions of years, a white dwarf will cool and it will become a cold black dwarf.

Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar discovered in 1931 that non-rotating white dwarfs have a maximum mass of 1.4 solar masses. As small or intermediate stars collapse, the electrons in the stars are crushed together and reach a state in which they can be no denser due to the Pauli Exclusion Principle that creates an outward electron degeneracy pressure. However, above 1.4 solar masses, electron degeneracy could no longer counteract that crushing gravitational force, and the star would continue to collapse (e.g. into a neutron star) or blow away excess mass from it surface in a supernova explosion. In 1983, Chandrasekhar won the Nobel Prize for his studies on stellar evolution.
Type XXXI

This is an obsolete, archived page.

Welcome to the home of The Void.

Any civilization here has ruled the outsiders for long. They are the only beings that can understand the Eye and The Brain, as well potential superiors.

This place cannot be described to any mortal, you lost the mortal title many rankings ago, you are in the Beyond++ at this point.

Not many can make it to type XXXI. They are kings of the outsiders and they are infinitely advanced, beyond this. We don't really know about the civilizations much beyond XXXI.

The fabric of the onmiverses and the surrounding supervoid are tapped and influenced by these unbelievably advanced beings. They can set new laws of physics and revoke them, substitute or alter them at will, making realms and dimensions unseen and unknowable for less advanced civilizations.

Shkadov thruster

The **Shkadov thruster** is a **Class A** stellar engine that accelerates a star by selectively reflecting or absorbing light on one side of the star's surface. This could be used to move our own sun out of the way of danger, or move a rogue star away from damaging our solar system, preventing an ELE. This is also called **star lifting**.

### Detail:

Such an engine is a stellar propulsion system, consisting of an enormous mirror/light sail which is a massive type of solar **statite** (from the words *static* and *satellite*) which is an artificial satellite that employs a solar sail to continuously modify its orbit in ways that gravity alone would not allow. This would balance gravitational attraction towards and radiation pressure away from the star. Since the radiation pressure of the star would now be *asymmetrical*, i.e. more radiation is being emitted in one direction as compared to another, the 'excess' radiation pressure acts as net thrust, accelerating the star in the direction of the hovering statite. Such thrust and acceleration would be *very* slight, but such a system could be stable for millennia. Any planetary system attached to the star would be 'dragged' along by its parent star. For a star such as the Sun, with luminosity 3.85 × 1026 W and mass 1.99 × 1030 kg, the total thrust produced by reflecting half of the solar output would be 1.28 × 1018 N. After a period of one million years this would yield an imparted speed of 20 m/s, with a displacement from the original position of 0.03 light-years. After one billion years, the speed would be 20 km/s and the displacement 34,000 light-years, a little over a third of the estimated width of the Milky Way galaxy.
Sphere builders

The **Sphere Builders** are an extradimensional alien race from Star Trek. Possessing advanced temporal technology, they were responsible for the creation of the Delphic Expanse spheres in an effort to reconfigure space to be habitable for their species, as a prelude to invasion of the galaxy.

Universe

A **universe**contains immeasurable galaxies. Ours has 11 dimensions but typically only the 3 space dimensions and 1 time dimension are known as spacetime. The creation of a universe is attributed to a Big Bang and ours happened about 14 billion years ago.

Borg

The **Borg** were a pseudo-species of cybernetic beings, or cyborgs, from the Delta Quadrant of the Star Trek universe. No single individual truly existed within the Borg Collective (with the exception of the Borg Queen), as all Borg were linked into a hive mind. Their ultimate goal was the attainment of 'perfection' through the forcible assimilation of diverse sentient species, technologies, and knowledge. As a result, the Borg were among the most powerful and feared entities in the galaxy, without really being a true species at all.

Time Lords

The **Time Lords** are an alien and extremely ancient species from Doctor Who. They originate from a universe of Chaos and Magic and made it logical and rational. This gave some beings known as Great Old Ones godlike capabilities.

Their species evolved on planet Gallifrey in the Constellation of Kasterbourus during the early history of the multiverse. The space-time continuum of the Whoniverse was a Time Vortex built by the Time Lords as a trans-dimensional spiral that connected all points in space and time. The Vortex existed in interstitial space and surrounded and separated every spacetime event.

The Time Lords were regarded as the epitome of civilization. Universal Manipulators, and Time Vortex creators of Black Holes, they grew 11 dimensional ships known as TARDIS.

Being able to exist in multiple dimensions at once, they were feared across the universe. They fought the Great Vampires in the Eternal War. They fought many Time Wars: The first against the order of the black sun, the second against the races which threatened their role as the monopolizers of time travel and the third against a race known as the Daleks who were more than their equals. This war is also known as the Last Great Time War and marked the virtual end of their society.
Time Ship

The **Time Ships** were a type of massive Time Machine built by the Universal Constructors in an alternate timeline of the Time Ships Universe. Like their predecessor, The Time Machine, the ships were capable of free travel through time in any direction. The ships appear to made solely from plattnerite itself. However, these Time Ships were far superior to earlier Time Machines, being capable of traveling further back in time than the beginning of the universe, and beyond that point they were able to perceive different timelines from the beginning. As such, the Time Ships were capable of traveling from timeline to timeline at will.
Watchers

The **Watchers** are a hyper-advanced species from the Marvel Universe. Their policy of non-interference was due to a well-meaning attempt by the Watchers to bestow knowledge on another race which resulted in that race destroying itself. After this event the Watchers dedicated themselves to observe the universe. They know almost everything there is to know in the cosmos. The Watchers have vast time and space manipulation technologies, even rivaling the Celestials.

Humans (Andromeda)

**Humans** are the sentient species of the planet Earth in the Andromeda Universe.

Humanity had been technologically advancing for 3 millennia before they were integrated into the Systems Commonwealth, a democratic federation of over a million planets, drifts, space stations, orbital habitats, and even entire solar systems which was created from the Vedran Empire.

They did not have faster than light travel until they began to make breakthroughs into quantum string theory that would have allowed them to experiment with Slipstream with potentially disastrous consequences until the Commonwealth first made contact via the Perseids. Humanity's power and influence grew and they eventually became second only to the Vedrans. They famously used the Andromeda in their fight against the Magog.

Humans are divided into a few sub-species such as the Castalians, Inari, Hajira and the Nietzscheans. With the ultimate fall of the Commonwealth, humanity became scattered across the known worlds and many were enslaved by the Nietzscheans.

Most Nietzscheans view humans as being inferior and useful only as slaves. The Than-Thre-Kull pity humans, believing that humans' small family groups are one of the sources of human suffering.
The Ceph

The **Ceph** (short for **Cephalopods**, also known as the **Charybdis)**, are a technologically advanced alien species who arrived on Earth approximately 65 million years ago in the Crysis Universe. They are hostile towards humanity and are waging a war of extermination against them. It is speculated that they have been acting to prevent human degradation of the Earth's environment.

The Ceph originate from the Triangulum Galaxy, approximately 3 million light years from Earth. The war is started when the Alpha Ceph opens a Einstein-Rosen Bridge to their parent galaxy in order to bring their main invasion force to eradicate all humans.

Their army makes use of anti-gravity technology to fly through the air, and ice and energy-based weapons, and are capable of draining energy from almost any nearby source in order to power and repair themselves.
Plastic

A **plastic** is a synthetic polymer which is made of long chains of molecules. It's made with carbon atoms provided by petroleum and other fossil fuels. They are strong, lightweight, and *pliable* or *plastic.*

### History

In 1907 Leo Baekeland invented Bakelite, the first fully synthetic plastic. It was a durable, heat resistant electrical insulator, and meet the needs of a rapidly electrifying world. World War II necessitated a great expansion of the plastics industry. Nylon was a synthetic silk used during the war for parachutes, ropes, body armor, and more. Plexiglas provided an alternative to glass for aircraft windows. After the war, much of what people bought was made of plastic. Plastics challenged traditional materials and won, taking the place of steel in cars, paper and glass in packaging, and wood in furniture. It was an almost utopian vision of a future with abundant material wealth thanks to an inexpensive, safe, sanitary substance that could be shaped by humans to their every whim.

### Environmental concerns

The first environmental problem was when plastic debris in the oceans was observed in the 1960s. In the 1970s and 1980s the anxiety about waste increased with the fact that plastic lasts forever in the environment. Recycling was offered as a solution, but most plastics still end up in landfills or in the environment. The ultimate symbol of the problem of plastic waste is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which has often been described as a swirl of plastic garbage the size of Texas floating in the Pacific Ocean.

### Health concerns

Additives that go into plastics during the manufacturing process make them more flexible, durable, and transparent. However, these chemicals leach out of plastics and into our food, water, and bodies. In very high doses these chemicals can disrupt the endocrine (or hormonal) system. What does this mean for future generations?

### Global impact, and the future

Plastics are critical to modern life. Plastics made possible the development of computers, cell phones, and modern medicine. It has raised the standard of living and made material abundance more readily available. Without plastics, many possessions that we take for granted might be out of reach. Replacing natural materials with plastic has made many of our possessions cheaper, lighter, safer, and stronger.

In the future bioplastics, which are made from plant crops instead of fossil fuels, create substances that are more environmentally friendly than conventional plastics. Others are working to make plastics that are truly biodegradable. Some innovators are searching for ways to make recycling more efficient, and there are various experiments and initiatives to reduce the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
Technosignature

A **technosignature** or **technomarker** is something that provides scientific evidence of past or present technology. Technosignatures are analogous to the biosignatures that signal the presence of life. A large part of SETI is hence the search for technosignatures. These are generally megastructures that are observable from vast distances using extremely powerful hyper-telescopes, or advanced technology that emits identifiable wave patterns.

### List of technosignatures

* A Dyson sphere, constructed by life forms dwelling in proximity to a Sun-like star, would cause an increase in the amount of infrared radiation in the star system's emitted spectrum. Freeman Dyson wrote about this in his paper "Search for Artificial Stellar Sources of Infrared Radiation". SETI has adopted these assumptions in its search, looking for such "infrared heavy" spectra from solar analogs.
* A Type III civilization, having "domesticated" its galaxy by building a large number of Dyson spheres, would be detectable over intergalactic distances of several million light-years. They could also live inside a supermassive black hole, in a stable periodic orbit, which would make them completely undetectable.
* Shkadov thrusters with the ability to change the orbital paths of stars in order to avoid various dangers to life such as cold molecular clouds or cometary impacts, would also be detectable. Evidence of targeted extrasolar asteroid mining may also reveal extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI).
* Interstellar spacecraft may be detectable thousands of light-years away through various forms of radiation, such as the photons emitted by an antimatter rocket or cyclotron radiation from the interaction of a magnetic sail with the interstellar medium. Self-replicating spacecraft or their communications networks could potentially be detectable within our Solar system or in nearby star-based systems.
* A less advanced technology such as the Clarke Belt would be formed by all the artificial satellites occupying geostationary/geosynchronous orbits around an exoplanet.
* The light from an extraterrestrial ecumenopolis could be easily visible as it surrounds the planet.
* In Star Trek, a Vulcan ship detected the warp signature from the Earth's first warp-capable vessel. The Vulcans landed and made First Contact with the vessel's pilot.

### Trivia

A Dyson–Harrop satellite is used for power generation using the solar wind. It is inspired by the Dyson sphere, but much harder to detect from another star system, therefore making it the opposite of a technosignature. This could be used by a civilization attempting to hide itself, and one of the reasons for the Fermi Paradox.
Negative energy

**Negative energy** is an exotic form of energy that is only possible with the new laws of physics.

Using traditional laws of physics, the theory of general relativity says that energy is greater than zero, at all times and everywhere in the universe, linked to mass via the formula e=mc². Quantum physics shows that under certain conditions in 7d, negative energies are allowed. Negative energy would therefore also mean negative mass. Positive masses attract each other, but with a negative mass, gravity could suddenly become a repulsive force, and anti-gravity becomes possible. For instance, a kilogram of iron made out of normal and positive mass will have about 10 newtons of force. However, a kilogram of iron made out of abnormal and negative mass will have about -10 newtons of force. Thus, gravity is repulsive to the negative iron.

There is a "Quantum Null Energy Condition" (QNEC) where, due to quantum entanglement of particles on both sides of subspace, it is possible to "borrow" energy as long as it is returned or "paid back". Essentially this means that the law of conservation of energy is not violated within a 7d or higher framework, and apparently violated in 6d or lower according to unskilled observers. QNEC is used in artificial wormhole engineering, where negative energy is needed to keep the wormhole open.

A universe in which positive energy dominates will eventually collapse in a Big Crunch, while a universe in which negative energy dominates will either expand indefinitely or eventually disintegrate in a Big Rip. In a zero-energy universe model, the total amount of energy in the universe is exactly zero: its amount of positive energy in the form of matter is exactly cancelled out by its negative energy in the form of gravity.

Negative energy is found in phantom energy in which a vacuum is unstable with negative mass particles bursting into existence. **Negative mass** is exotic matter whose mass is of opposite sign to the mass of normal matter, e.g. −1 kg. This led to the understanding of Dark Fluid which due to gravitationally repulsive negative masses, presents dark matter and dark energy in one framework.

Negative mass is *not* antimatter which has positive mass and is affected by gravity just like normal matter; the only difference is that antimatter has the opposite charge, i.e., the ruling negative protons make it have a generally negative charge.

Negative mass is predicted to behave like positive matter, in the way of too much of it causes a distortion of space-time of some sort (in this case, it creates a white hole).

The Force was an energy field in Star Wars created by all life that connected everything in the universe. The Force was created by life, and therefore, resided in all lifeforms. It was especially powerful in a select group of individuals who were born with a high concentration of Midi-chlorians. These people were deemed Force-sensitive, and were capable of consciously sensing the Force. With this conscious sense of the Force came the ability to harness it, accessing various Force powers. Unlike organic beings, droids and other artificial constructs existed outside of the Force. As such, they possessed no connection to the energy field that was created and sustained by life. Apart from its scientific aspect, the Force was the basis of various organizations, most notably the Jedi Order and the Sith Order.
Type XXVIII

This is an obsolete, archived page.

A **Type XXVIII** civilization exists beyond the highest planes outside reality and non-reality.

They are the Gatekeepers of the Beyond. They are the Beyonders.

Type XXVIII citizens live in the eighth level or tier of the Pyramid. The actuality of the Beyonders and their home is unknown and unknowable and is therefore a concept.

### Concepts

The Pyramid is composed of multiple levels.

Type XXVIII citizens are the government and their workers. They are policy makers and make sure that everything runs smoothly in the Pyramid. They still take instructions from higher levels though.

Dark matter

**Dark matter** is a form of matter called *dark* because it does not appear to interact with the electromagnetic field, which means it doesn't absorb, reflect or emit electromagnetic radiation.

About 69 percent of the matter/energy (since matter and energy are interchangeable) in the universe is contained in dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 26 percent, atoms of hydrogen and helium make up about 4.5 percent, and higher elements, which make up the Earth and our own bodies, only make up a tiny 0.5 percent. So dark energy, which is pushing the galaxies away from us, is clearly the dominant force in the universe, much larger than the energy contained in the curvature of spacetime.

Current thought is that most of the dark matter probably does not consist of the standard elementary particles—such as protons, neutrons, electrons and known neutrinos—but rather hypothetical and exotic constituents such as sterile neutrinos, axions, and WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles, including neutralinos), which do not interact with electromagnetism and thus cannot be easily detected. The hypothetical neutralinos are similar to neutrinos, but heavier and slower. Theorists also consider the wild possibility that dark matter includes gravitons, hypothetical particles that transmit gravity, leaking into our universe from neighboring universes. If our universe is on a membrane “floating” within a higher dimensional space, dark matter may be explained by ordinary stars and galaxies on nearby membrane sheets.

Type I civilizations find it to comprise of particles not hitherto detected in previous standard and therefore limited models of particle physics. Once discovered, the term "dark matter" was regarded in the same way as aether which was once thought to comprise most of the observable universe beyond earth.

Optical computer

An optical or photonic computer uses photons produced by lasers or diodes for computation.

It needs:

* optical processor(s) which uses optical transistors running at up to 20 GHz and beyond (at least 4 times faster than traditional processors)
* optical data transfer using nanoscale fiber optic cables that convey signals between the electronics and the photonics
* optical switching; with typical electronics, electron speed for transmitting data is in nanoseconds, whereas an optical switch transmits data billions of times faster in attoseconds
* optical storage which can be 3D (for example CDs - 650 MB, DVDs - 5 GB, Blu-ray - 25 GB) and 5D (nanostructured glass for permanently recording digital data using femtosecond laser writing process creating a memory crystal initially capable of storing up to 360 TB)

Optical computers address the problem of energy usage. They use far less energy than traditional electron-based von Neuman architecture computers which require more power and therefore more cooling. Optical computers work like GPUs and are used in graphics processing, raytracing, machine learning, neural networks and AI. They are similar to quantum computers in that they work well with computing and solving linear algebraic problems requiring parallelism and not serial logic/gate computing such as "if-then logic" and applications such as operating systems.

A company called Lightmatter makes products that are 10 times faster than Nvidia GPUs and which use 90% times less energy. Some of their products are:

* a processor called Envise that they call an "AI accelerator" that uses a different color of light (per core) to transmit and parallelize optical signals, greatly adding to speed and efficiency. It uses mux/demux to push packed light through the processer, and unpack it as it comes out, like prisms that function as processor input and output. Each colour of light represents a core of the processor, and Lightmatter envisions 64 of these in the near future, and say that they are scalable within the space of one chip.
* Passage, a programmable photonic interconnect that enables arrays of heterogeneous chips to communicate with unprecedented bandwidth and energy efficiency.
* a software stack that interfaces with standard deep learning tools
Smart home

Home automation or *domotics* is used to automate a home, turning it into a **smart home**. A home automation system will monitor and/or control home attributes such as lighting, climate, entertainment systems, and appliances. It may also include home security such as access control and alarm systems. These devices become a part of the Internet of Things ("IoT").

A home automation system typically connects controlled devices to a central smart home hub or gateway. The user interface for control of the system uses either wall-mounted terminals, tablet or desktop computers, a mobile phone application, or a Web interface that may also be accessible off-site through the Internet, or voice control devices like Amazon Alexa or Google Home.

### Some constituents of a smart home

* Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)
* Lighting
* Occupancy-aware control system, for example to monitor a baby's movement, or for the elderly and disabled, or pets
* Environmental sensors like CO2 sensors, leak and smoke detection
* Energy control, for example using a solar panel output in the middle of the day to run appliances
* Robots and security
* Laundry-folding machine, self-making bed
* Indoor positioning systems (IPS).
* Air quality control
* Smart kitchen, with refrigerator inventory, premade cooking programs, 3D printers

### Future

* High end houses are comprised of programmable matter and are capable of morphing their external appearances depending on the taste of the user. A house can transform into a variety of styles including contemporary, classic Victorian, futuristic, etc.
* Holographic surfaces cover the walls, doors, and mirrors of many houses. These intelligent surfaces can track the position of the user and display information whenever and wherever necessary. A person can read emails, see news reports and access the internet using virtually any surface in this type of house. And each surface can be used as a touch screen or mind control interface. Detailed, real-time information on their health, personal affairs, and daily schedules can also be displayed. This system also has a variety of other functions such as locating personal items that may have been misplaced.
* In smart cities with limited space, apartments are able to reconfigure themselves on-demand using morphable materials.
* Appliances now repair and upgrade themselves, and appliances that don’t offer these features are largely obsolete.
* Rain can be converted into drinking water using nanofiltration systems. Meanwhile, plastics and other kitchen waste can be placed in recycling machines, ground into an extremely fine powder, and then later re-used in replicator machines.
* Walls, roofs, and windows absorb sunlight and convert it into heat and electricity. In countries where sunlight is less frequent, microturbines that convert wind into energy may be used instead.
Ynnari

The **Ynnari** or "the Reborn," are a faction or religious sect of the Aeldari species in the Warhammer 40k Universe.

Under the leadership of a prophet," the Ynnari seek to fully awaken the Aeldari god of the dead Ynnead, who they believe can defeat Slaanesh of the Chaos Gods and restore the Aeldari species' unity and its lost glory.
Organians

The **Organians** were a race of powerful incorporeal beings composed of pure energy and thought in the Star Trek Universe.

Millions of years ago they existed as humanoids, but they evolved beyond the need for physical bodies.

For a period of ten thousand years, the Organians looked for indicators that observed corporeal species' intelligence was developed enough for first contact. They observed a planet that contained a silicon-based virus, and the reactions of species that encountered it, in an attempt to find a species with a higher level of intelligence. Among the species which the Organians observed attempting to deal with this deadly virus were the Klingons, Cardassians, and Humans. Thereafter contact was made with these species.

As beings of pure thought, they were either immortal or extremely long-lived. They also had the ability to occupy the bodies of humanoid hosts, as well as to alter or completely wipe their memories. They could be invisible when necessary and were aware of events at great distances.
Planet lifting

Planet lifting typically involves building refineries around gas giants and lifting enough material so that the planet is transformed. This would happen once all the useful energy of a gas giant is removed.

At the center of most gas giants is a rocky core trapped inside a thick and hazy atmosphere. By planet-lifting, you could remove a gas giant's atmosphere and outer layers and be left with a rocky, Earth-like planet. This modification of the planet's physical properties is called *planetary husbandry*, analogous to *stellar husbandry* in star lifting.

Thereafter, by using fusion candles, the planet could be moved to its parent star's habitable zone. A gas giant propelled using a fusion candle system will bring its moons and anything else in orbit with it. Finally, the process of terraforming could begin.
Ori

Millions of years ago, the **Ori** lived together with the Ancients as Alterans in a distant galaxy in the Stargate Universe. A split occurred and the Ancients began to devote themselves to science, while the Ori became increasingly religious. The Ori attempted to destroy the Ancients and to avoid a war, the Ancients departed their home galaxy for the Milky Way. Being almost equal in technology to the Ancients, they followed them to the Milky Way where some humans believed that the Ori were responsible for a plague that almost killed all the Ancients. Even though both the Ancients and the Ori eventually ascended, a device called the Sangraal (anti-Ori weapon or anti-ascended weapon) was built by Merlin (an Ancient) and used to destroy the Ori.
