Kardashev scale
TYPE I Characteristics: Planetary Society. Developed Technology. * understanding the laws of physics. * space technology. * nuclear technology. * electromagnetic communications. Initiation of spaceflight, interplanetary travel, settlement of space. Early attempts at interstellar communication. Starting to push planetary resource limits. Information Level: I. Energy Consumption: 10 to the 16 power to 10 to the 17 power Watts. Manifestations: Intentional or unintentional electromagnetic emissions,
especially radio waves.
TYPE II Characteristics: Stellar system society. Construction of space habitats. "dyson sphere" as an ultimate limit. Search for intelligent life in space. Long societal lifetimes (10 to the 3 power to 10 to the 5 power years). Initiation of interstellar travel/colonization. Ultimately all radiant energy output of native star is utilized. Information Level: L. Energy Consumption: 10 to the 26 power to 10 to the 27 power Watts. Manifestations: Electromagnetic. * radio waves. * optical lasers. * X-rays. * Gamma rays. Gravity Waves. Mass transfer. * probes. * panspermia. * stellar arks.
TYPE III Characteristics: Galactic Civilization. Interstellar communication/travel. Very long societal lifetimes (10 to the 8 power to 10 to the 9 power years). Effectively "the immortals", for planning purposes. Energy resources of the entire galaxy (10 to the 11 power to 10
to the 12 power stars) are commanded. Information Level: Q (Encyclopedia Galactica). Energy Consumption: 10 to the 37 power to 10 to the 38 power Watts. Manifestations: Feats of astroengineering. Exotic Communication. * neutrinos. * tachyons? * Waves "i"?
