Human technology has made a lot of progress in the past 5000 years and the changes in the earth provide evidence of this fact. We have changed the landscape, climate and biological diversity, and most importantly, we have learned to exploit a part of the planet's energy, but we can still exploit a lot of energy. Our hunger for energy will continue for the next 5,000 years.
In 1964, Russian astronomer Nikolai Karadachev said that the technical progress of a civilization is directly related to the amount of energy that its citizens can manipulate. With this, he defined three classifications for advanced civilizations in the galaxy:
Type 1 civilization is a master in platinum energy, which means that they can use the energy of an entire world's zodiac sign.
Type 2 civilization can use the power of an entire star system.
There is a command on the galactic scale of type 3 civilization.
The use of this curdashev scale to predict the future of the technological advancement of the future of spiritual science and foreign civilization. Today's modern people are not even ranked on this scale. We are currently type-type civilization, but we will eventually become type 1. Kardasev himself also predicted that this change will also happen in our sustainability. But when?
Physicists and futurist Mishio Kaku estimates that these changes can happen until this century. Physicist Freeman Dyson estimated that we will find it in less than 200 years. In the first place, Karadachev estimated that for nearly 3200 years, we will reach type 2 position. If we If we reach type 1 status till 7010, then we have the ability to control atmospheric and geothermal powers.
War and self-destruction can still be a threat to humanity's existence, but ecological concerns will be a thing of the past. If we get type 2 status till that point, then 71st century people will also be able to operate more technical power. Dyson proposed that such civilization would be able to harvest a star with a herd of satellites to produce its energy.
Other theoretists say that from type 2 status we will be able to transfer interstellar travel and the entire planetary. Such future people will be very different from cultural or neurological forms. Regardless, in 5,000 years a lot can happen, we can destroy ourselves with war or destroy the planet with nanotechnology, but perhaps we will fail to reduce the danger caused by asteroids and comets.
