Many generations think that their new evolution is the future and is the last real advancement our world can know. Nikolai Kardashev was asking himeself if there is really a limit in the technological progress, he clacified potentital civilisation into three levels (with the enegy consumption) : the first one, the “Planetary Civilization” , can acces all the energy ressources of it’s own planet, it would mean that we would use all the energy the sun give us, but it’s impossible for now. Then, the “Stellar Civilization” would do more, the principle would be to capture all the energy our star produce. Finally, the “Galactic Civilization” would have all the energy of it’s own galaxy. In the other hand, John Barrow clacified civilizations by the size of objects they control. From mecanical structure to our own biology, atoms, in the smallest way. Civilizations will continue to develop both scales, a smaller scale permet us to understand and use enery way better, and a bigger one let us expend and build bigger. It means that a real advanced civilization would have developed both scales, it could be us but also other intelligent lifes in the univers. We already observed some phenomens that could prove the truth of those advancements, by aliens forms or simply by natural causes.
Many generations would not have thought to come to this level of technology on before. A Russian astronomer, called Nikolai Kardashev, ask about the limit of technological progress, and he wants to measure that. But, what we would like to do, required so many energies. He creates 3 levels of civilization consumption. The first is “Planetary Civilization” it’s mean like use all of own resources in the home planet and what we receive; about the sun, we get 174,000 terawatts of energies. To get more, he thinks about covering the planet with solar panels. The second is “Stellar Civilization”, it would be installed solar panels around the sun, this theory is called “Dyson sphere”. The third is “Galactic Civilization”, just the same as before, but we get all energy of the galaxy.
This video talks about technological advances in our world. Generations before ours felt like they had reached the pinnacle of technological progress. Yet the technologies we have today are completely different from those that existed before. So a question arises are we going to reach the final limit of technological progress and are we close to it ? Fifty years ago, scientist Nikolai Kardashev asked himself the same question until he found a way to measure technological progress. For future innovations it will take a lot of energy so we will have 3 levels of energy consumption :
1. Type 1 called « planetary » is that we can exploit all the resources of our planet. That is to say the sun which brings a lot of energy but we are not yet able to exploit all of its capacities with the help of solar panels on the whole earth.
2. Type 2 called « stellar » instead of putting solar panels on the earth we would put them directly on the sun so that all the energy arrives on earth.
3. Type 3 will use all the energy in the galaxy
Many générations think their know all and think we reached the pinnacle of technological advencement. If we going back to 100 years, we cannot imagine the advencement of today.
An astronomer Nikola Kardashev was asking himself for know if an limit of technological progress exist and if yes were we are on this mesure now ?
He mesure the technological progress and he say anything we do in the future will requise energy.
So he classifies potential civilisation into 3 levels based on energy consuption.
The first it’s “planetary civilization” we can access all the energy the sun give to us but we can did it now.
The second “Stellar civilization” we should be capture all the energy our star produce.
The third it’s “Galactic Civilization” would have all the energy of the galaxy.
Jonh Barrow clasified civilization by the size of objects they control from mecanical structure to our own biology atoms…
Many generations believe that technology has reached its end. Russian astronomer Nikolai Kardashev faced similar questions. To solve these questions he decided to measure technological progress. If we go back technology has increased so much that we never thought we would get here. The future requires energy and this energy has been classified in the scale that we call the Kardashev scale. In this scale we find all types of civilization the whole universe is classified there in three levels according to the consumption of energy. We consume a very small amount of energy compared to what we could obtain. We will call type followed by the numbers 1,2,3 the rankings of the Kardashev scale. Type 1 can access all the resources of his planet (all the energy). Compared to the earth we would need approximately 4 centuries to cover the planet with solar panels. For type 2 it would be necessary to use the sphere of Dyson (install solar panels everywhere around its star and to finish type 3 would exploit all the whole energy of the galaxy.
This video explains the advancement of technological progress. Previous generations thought they had reached the pinnacle of technological advancement. A hundred years ago, the technologies that are said to be acquired today seemed like exceptional discoveries.
50 years ago, several questions arose such as “will we reach the limit of technological progress?” “are we close?”. Astronomer Nikolai Kardashev had similar questions. He decided to find a way to measure this progress by classifying potential civilizations into 3 different levels based on her energy consumption.
The first civilization of Type 1, called “planetary”, would allow access to all the energy resources of its planet, and to achieve this, it would be necessary to cover the Earth with solar panels. For the moment it is impossible, but according to forecasts we could get there in about 400 years.
The second Type 2 civilization, called “stellar”, would take the best energy from its star of origin by covering the Sun with solar panels to create a theoretical structure called the Dyson Sphere.
The third civilization of Type 3, called “galactic” would use all the energy of its galaxy.
Many generations thought that technological advancement was over.
A hundred years ago,current technologies would be unimaginable.
So, 50 years ago, they asked if “will there be a point where we reach an actual limit of technological progress ?” And “so, are we anywhere near that limit now?”.
A Russian astronomer Nikolai Kardashev was asking similar questions when he came up with a way to measure technological progress.
Nikolai Kardashev decided to classifies potential civilizations, into three levels based on energy consumption.
The firsts civilizations “type 1” or “Planetary civilization” we can access all the energy ressources of its home planet.
We, to consider becoming a type 1 of civilization, we would have to cover the planet with solar panels.
We might get there with in juste 400 centuries.
The second civilizations « type 2 » or « Stellar Civilization » would make the most of its home stars energy.
They would put the solar panels around the star.
The third civilization « type 3 » or « Galactic civilization » would harness all the energy of it’s home galaxy.
Technology has never stopped evolving and today’s technology would seem like magic for previous generations, so we can ask the question :
Have we reached the pinnacle of technological advancement or are we going to reach it one day ?
Russian astronomer Nikolai Kardshev invented a way to measure technological progress by classifying potential civilizations based on energy consumption :
The type 1, planetary civilization can access all the energy ressources of his own planet, in our case it is the 174.000 terawatts we receive from the sun. To use everything we would need to cover all the earth with solar panels.
Type 2, stellar civilization, can access all the energy of his star (the sun in our case) by installing solar panels directly in orbit around the star.
And finally, type 3, Galactic civilization, can harness all the energy from his galaxy.
This video talks about technological advances. Many generations thought they had reached the pinnacle of technological progress. Yet what we took for granted at the time seems obvious to us today. So one wonders if we will reach the ultimate limit of technological progress and are we close to it? 50 years ago, Russian astronomer Nikolai Kardashev asked himself similar questions. Until he found a way to measure technological progress. Until he found a way to measure technological progress. Everything we do in the future will require a lot of energy. The Kardashev scale ranks potential civilizations into three levels based on energy consumption.
– Type I civilization, called ‘planetary’. It is to be able to exploit all the energy of our planet. The earth recovers only part of the solar energy, the rest is lost in the vacuum. Solar energy should be captured more directly and efficiently by covering the planet with solar panels.
– Type II civilization, called ‘stellar’. would draw most of the energy from its home star. So instead of installing solar panels all around the earth, we would place them directly around the star, creating a dyson sphere.
– Type III civilization, called ‘galactic’. We’d use up all the energy in the galaxy.
This video talk about evolution and innovation, in a first part, this video ask us “Is there a limit to technological progress”, the answer is no or we don’t know, the world innvoates day after day, and if we look back, 300 years ago, the humanity well be impress by our technology progress. In second part this video talk about a theory by Nikolai Kardashev, this theory tell us that we can classifies potential civilisation into 3 levels based on energy consuption, level 1 (planetary civilization) : consists to put a planetary cage of solar panel to use all the energy of the sun. Level 2 : it’s stellar civilization would take the best energy from the Sun by covering him with solar panels to create the Dyson Sphere (look like the Death Star in Star Wars) and at last the third theory i don’t understand what it is about.

Jonah Barrow classifieds civilization by the size of the objects they control of the mechanical structure of our own biology atoms…
