Kardashev Scale: A Glimpse into the Energy Consumption of Civilizations
Breaking News: Humanity's Lowly Status on the Kardashev Scale Revealed
A Type IV civilization harnesses the power of its own supercluster of galaxies and consumes an unimaginable amount of energy.
The Kardashev scale is a theoretical framework proposed by Russian astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev in 1964. It classifies civilizations based on their energy consumption levels. According to Kardashev, a Type IV civilization would be able to control the energy of its entire supercluster of galaxies. This would involve manipulating massive amounts of energy, estimated to be around 410 19 ergsec. In contrast, humanity currently stands at a mere Type 0.7276 on the Kardashev Scale. This means that we utilize a tiny fraction of the energy available to us on Earth. The vast disparity between Type IV and our current level highlights the immense energy consumption gap that humanity must overcome to reach more advanced stages of civilization.
