Kardashev Scale Wiki



Welcome to the Kardashev Scale Wiki
The Kardashev scale is a method of measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement, based on the amount of energy a civilization is able to use for communication. The purpose of this wiki is to include an exhaustive list of existing and fictional civilizations with an attempt to classify their types, as well as possible technologies that such civilizations could use.

The scale has these categories: The scale is hypothetical, and regards energy consumption on a cosmic scale. It was proposed in 1964 by the Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev.
 * A Type 0 civilization extracts its energy, information and raw-materials from crude organic-based sources.
 * A Type I civilization—also called a planetary civilization—can use and store all of the energy which reaches its planet from its parent star.
 * A Type II civilization—also called a stellar civilization—can harness the total energy of its planet's parent star.
 * A Type III civilization—also called a galactic civilization—can control energy on the scale of its entire host galaxy.
 * A Type IV civilization...also called a universal civilization-can control the energy of its home universe
