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.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low.  The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away.  When the box is filled with quantum gas and som

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials.
