THE (MODIFIED) KARDASHEV SCALE IS A METHOD OF MEASURING A CIVILIZATION'S LEVEL OF TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY IT CAN USE. IT RANKS CIVILIZATIONS 1 through 8. THis scale WAS PROPOSED BY SOVIET ASTRONOMER NIKOLAI KARDASHEV.

A type 0 civilization is a civilzation, which extracts its energy, information and raw materials solely from planetary resources, and can travel beyond its home planet.
A type 1 civilization is a planetary civilization, which can use and store the equivalent of all of the energy in and reaching its home planet, and become interplanetary.
A type 2 civilization is a stellar civilization, which can harness the total energy equivalent of an entire star's output, and become interstellar.
A type 3 civilization is a galactic civilization, which can control energy equivalent on the scale of an entire galaxy, and become intergalactic.
A type 4 civilization is a universal civilization which can control the energy equivalent of its home universe, have instant travel, and manipulate the fabric of spacetime.
A type 5 civilization is a multiversal civilization which can escape their universe of origin and explore the multiverse, and have time travel to the future.
A type 6 civilization is a megaversal civilization which can exist in an infinite amount of simultaneous multiverses and instances, with unlimited spacetime travel.
A type 7 civilization is a omniversal civilization which is a "god-level" traveler and manipulator of all universes, multiverses, and megaverses.
The greatest transition in human history will be the transition of humanity from a type zero civilization to a type one civilization. If we make it to the end of the century, we make it to type one civilization. But, it's getting increasingly difficult to continue to live and work through this century. From economic crisis to the fear of global nuclear war, it's not fun living in this time. But, at the end of the tunnel, there is light. Winston Churchill said "If you're going through hell, keep going", because why should you stop when you're in hell? We urge you to work hard every day, so that we can enjoy an unimaginable future.
As humanity works its way up the Kardashev Scale, it becomes increasingly advanced. The amount of possibilities we unlock just by becoming a type 2 civilization are incomprehensible. And that's just type 2. Humanity is currently a type zero civilization which sucks. A good future is one where we actively working to climb up the Kardashev Scale, not one where we're on the verge of going backwards on it. Let's build together, not burn.
If humanity were to achieve Type 1 status on the Kardashev scale, we would have the ability to terraform and transform other planets and moons to make them fully habitable for humans. This would allow for the deep expansion of our civilization and provide us with new opportunities for growth and development. It could also provide a backup plan for the long-term survival of the human race, in case Earth were to become uninhabitable for any reason. This would be a major step forward for humanity, enabling us to become a truly multi-planetary species and unlock the potential of the universe.
It is important for humanity to climb the ranks of the Kardashev scale because it would provide us with greater energy capabilities, technology, and knowledge. This would allow us to explore and exploit the universe more effectively, leading to new insights and discoveries that could benefit humanity. It would also, as mentioned, allow us to protect and preserve the Earth, as well as other planets. Overall, climbing the ranks of the Kardashev scale would inch humanity closer towards discovering the right questions to ask about all of reality, beyond the universe and existence as we currently experience it.
NASA releases many new beautiful images of the cosmos The images are so mind-blowing that they don't even look real. These include nebulae, galaxies, and more. If we advance to just a Type 2 civilization, we could have see these things with our own eyes. But you need to help us get to that point. Even if STEM is unbearable to you, please help indirectly.
