Dico S.F. – Kardashev scale

In 1964, the radio astronomer Nikolaï Kardashev created a scale to classify civilizations, formed with three categories, depending on the use of their resources:

• Type I: a “type I” civilization is able to use 100% of the available power of its planet, being about 10¹⁶ watts.
• Type II: a “type II” civilization is able to use 100% of the available power of its star, being about 10²⁶ watts.
• Type III: a “type III” civilization is able to use 100% of the available power of its galaxy, being about 10³⁷ watts.

To be humble, you might know that we, the human beings, belong to a “type 0” civilization 🙂
