Do you think we can overcome the challenges of climate change? 🤔
was proposed by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev in 1964 as a means to measure a hypothetical civilization's level of technological advancement based on the amount of energy it is able to harness from the surrounding universe.Kardashev categorized civilizations into three types: planetary, stellar, and galactic. A Type I species is able to harness the same amount of stellar energy that reaches its home planet.
Interestingly, humans don't actually qualify as a Type I civilizations, and, as we are yet to detect the presence of intelligent life, these types are only hypothetical. Approximately 10Watts. Carl Sagan, the famous science popularizer, suggested Kardashev's scale could be turned into a spectrum, in order to accommodate human civilization. According to Sagan's idea, humans would currently be at about 0.
The scientists found that, even when taking into account realistic limitations, it is possible for humanity to become a Type I civilization. However, according to their estimates, we won't reach that goal until at least the year 2371. Of course, this is a very rough estimate that simply can't account for the possible innovations that could occur over the next few decades. However, it draws attention to the inextricable link between the question of averting
and becoming a Type I civilization that is capable of exploring the cosmos and harnessing the immense amount of energy that is out there.Stay ahead with the latest science, technology and innovation news, for free:
