Kardashev scale civilizations

Kardashev scale civilizations

In the beginning, I must say that the originally Kardashev scale(1) civilization diagram has three levels. But then there have been bought two extra levels for that model, which introduced Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev (2) in 1964. The layers of the original Kardashev scale civilizations were planetary, stellar, and galactic, but sometimes there is involved two more layers, intergalactic and independent from the entire universe.

One of the most interesting things in the Kardashev model is when the civilization reaches some layer, the last layer turn to routine. So this is one of the ideas of the so-called theoretical sociology. And that thing is one of the principal elements when philosophers and astronomers think the form of civilizations and the form of the future of humanity.

1) Planetary civilization

Civilization controls the entire solar system. And that thing makes this part of the model very interesting. Because what if the solar system, where the civilization lives is abridged.

That civilization could be the civilization, what lives in one planet solar system, and the location of the civilization would be on some massive moon of the giant planet. So in this scale traveling to other planets would not be very difficult. And maybe Kardashev meant that the future of mankind can go in this way.

2) Interstellar civilization

The next scale traveling in the solar system would be routine, and so natural as going to morning train. This scale of civilization would have the technology, which allows it to travel to another star. But the thing is that the "open star systems", where the distance of the stars is big, and both suns of this kind of solar system would have own planetary system.

A good example of this kind of solar system is the Zeta Cancri-system(3), where one of the stars is in the great distance, but it orbits the middle stars. In this kind of system, traveling to the next star is not difficult, and if we would live in the Zeta Cancri system, we would conquer also the other planetary system.

The technology, what that civilization requires is the extremely high-level cryogenic or biotechnology. The last one is needed to make the new bodies for the astronauts, who would travel billions of years. In that vision, the bodies of those astronauts would be cloned by using the advanced biotechnology, and the memories for those hypothetical travelers would transfer in their mind by using brain core stimulation.

3) Galactic scale civilization

In galactic scale civilization, the civilization controls the entire galaxy, and interstellar traveling is the routine operation. This scale makes civilization independent from the planets, and if some star would detonate, moving to the other planetary systems would be easy. And this is the limit, what the carbon-based civilizations can reach.

This kind of civilization can benefit the energy of supernova and black holes. Those three layers have been written Kardashev himself, and the next to are connected to that theoretical scale of the civilizations later, and they are made other researchers, who wanted to continue the Kardashev scale.

4) Intergalactic civilization

That civilization knows technology, how to travel to other stars, and maybe that technology means the ability to store the genetic code of the passengers to the digital memory. And the artificial DNA would be created by using nanotechnology.

Or maybe they would have the ability to jump to the fourth dimension. The thing is that the age of that kind of civilization would be limited only by the age of the universe. And the final and the most advanced version of the civilizations. That kind of civilization would have full hybridization with the machines.

And the form of the universe would be different what is it now. So that kind of civilization would not be the result of natural evolution, and this is the final step, what the material civilization can reach. The next level the civilization must find some other form than material.

5) The material-independent civilization

This kind of civilization would be turned their form to something, which doesn't need a material form. So this kind of civilization would not require a physical form.

And that means that the age of that kind of hypothetical civilization would not require the existence of the universe. So that kind of civilization can live after the last neutron has been split, and the carbon-based life and existence of the universe turn impossible.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

. The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
