Type 1 Civilization: Earth’s Next Evolutionary Stage? Imagine shaping our entire planet, commanding its raw power to reshape destiny. Earthquakes and tsunamis no longer threats, but fuel for humanity’s grand ambition.
Imagine that you can control earthquakes or tsunamis to generate the energy we need. Or even terraform the planets of the solar system. These are just a few things that can happen if human civilization sets out to move into the future, I mean just the type 1 civilization of kardashev scale.
So, can we humans get to that same point? Or the possible advances that can happen.
And what makes us think whether or not we can progress to a specific point.
All global civilizations can be classified into what is called Kardashev.
It is responsible for measuring the ability of a particular civilization to use the energy that is available for a specific scale ranging from 1 to 3.
At present, humanity is not reaching Type 1 civilization. This is because we do not use all the forms of energy that Earth can provide us. We only use wood, coal and oil. But there are more possibilities. So what aspects of humanity would change if they evolved into other types of civilizations?
The Kardashev scale
The Kardashev scale is a theoretical framework that was proposed by the Russian astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev in 1964. The scale is used to measure the technological advancement of a civilization based on its ability to harness and use energy.
