Where is our civiliztion position in universe

Kardashev

Soviet astronomer

Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences

The deputy director of the Russian Space Research Institute

Kadashev scale: measuring civilization's level by energy

Type I: Planet

Uses resources available on its home planet

41019 erg/sec (4 10^12 watts)

Type II: Solar System

41033 erg/sec

The SUN

Type III: Galaxy

41044 erg/sec

Energy development Type I

fusion power

Antimatter

Sunlight energycover whole planet

Satellite

Other?

Energy development Type II

Type I, on many planet

Dyson sphere

Black hole

Antimatter

Dyson Sphere

Energy development Type III

As type II, for all star in galaxy

Use energy of supermassive black holes which are believed to exist at the center of most galaxies

White holes

Energy of gamma-ray bursts

Quasars

Extension: Type IV Universe

~ 10^45 W

Extension: Type V many universe

Extension: Type VI ALL Multiverse

Human civilization status

Below Type I

Michio Kaku Type I status in 100200* years,

Type II status in a few thousand years

Type III status in 100,000 to a million year

Carl Sagan types I (10^16 W), II (10^26 W) and III (10^36 W)

Human: 1973 was about 0.7

2012 was about 0.724

Information Mastery Scale

Carl SaganType A: 10^6 bit type Z: 10^31 bit

1973 Earth is a 0.7 H

Civilizational Range

Robert Zubrin

How widespread a civilization is in spaceType I civilization has spread across its planet.

Type II has extensive colonies in its respective stellar system

Type III has colonized its galaxy

Moon colony

Microdimensional Mastery

John Barrow

Downward

Type -minus

manipulating objects over the scale of themselves

building structures

Mining

joining solids

breaking solids

Type II -minus

manipulating genes

transplanting or replacing parts of themselves

reading and engineering their genetic code

change themselves

To whatever they want

Type -minus

manipulating molecules and molecular bonds

creating new materials

Type -minus

manipulating individual atoms

creating nanotechnologies on the atomic scale

creating complex forms of artificial life

Type -minus

manipulating the atomic nucleus

engineering the nucleons

Type -minus

manipulating the most elementary particles of matter (quarks and leptons)

Type Omega-minus

manipulating the basic structure of space and time

Criticism

Cannot understand advanced civilizations cannot predict their behavior (

like archaic humans cannot image about morden civilization)

the meaning?

What should we research ?

Where are we?
