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...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme.

The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
