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.

When robots are laughing and crying.

When robots are laughing and crying.  Does the AI have feelings?  Does the AI have feelings? Or can it be emphatic? The fact is this program code that controls the AI determines if it can give empathic reactions. The problem with the human nervous system is that we don't make a difference in the writing of empathic letters or telling empathic stories human or AI. Our nervous system is not adapted to AI yet. And that's why we cannot separate text written by AI from text that made by humans.  What does somebody make with AI that can emulate feelings? The fact is that the cyborgs are useful tools for infiltration operations. The human-size robots can have WLAN/6G connections with the central computers. Or they can form a neural network that shares information between all group members. The robots can also act as walking neural network-based supercomputers. That can make complicated solutions.  In those networks, each member shares information and their data-handling capacity all o

Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization

    Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization The Earth 2.0 or officially Kepler-452b is locating extreme log distance from Earth(1).    A new Earth-type planet has been found near the star, which is similar to our own Sun. The journey to that planet would take 1400 years, even if the spacecraft will reach the speed of the light. The planet has been found in the year 2008, but the confirmation of the existence of that planet has been taken time, but in 2015 the confirmation has been got, and Earth 2.0 has turned true.  The mass of that planet is 1,9 times Earth and the temperature is excellent if we are thinking about liquid water, but the journey to that planet will take so long, that we cannot ever go in there by using regular rockets and technology. The thing is that this kind of planets are the most interesting if we are looking for the lifeforms, which are similar to us, and the problem with that kind of things is that the communicatio

Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission

  Image I Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission 1) Tunguska UFO-theory  Tunguska meteorite is the mystery, that has been solved once, but then the case has been open again because Lake Cheko was not suitable for an impact crater. That lake has been introducing as an impact crater of the Tunguska meteorite. But the problem is that the shape of that lake is like a swimming pool. And that means it cannot form by a meteorite. So the mystery remains.  Meteorites can launch the natural nuclear fission if they hit the uranium ore, and transfer the impact energy to that ore. And is the thing that the famous "Tunguska" meteorite caused that kind of effect? There is also a theory that some "UFO" explode in that area, but the thing is that it is only theory, but interesting topics for some TV-series.  So I will begin this text by handling that theory, which is one of the incredible and outstanding theories in the world. Officially there is no physical evidence of
