The Omega-minus idea is especially interesting to me because a lot of sci-fi and religion plays off of this idea, and also it might be an answer or example of a Great Filter for the Fermi Paradox. Intelligent beings may not ever have to leave their planets or send signals out to space to their neighbors if they become Omega-minus civilizations-beings in only a few centuries (say from advent of electrical physics to fundamental understanding of nature, aka Omega-minus).

I have an idea for an alternative scale: The civilization destruction time scale Class 0: A civilization isn't yet capable of destroying itself completely Class 1: A civilization would have enough power to destroy itself in a matter of years Class 2: Same as before, but in a matter of months Class 3: Days Class 4: Minutes Class 5: Seconds

[@adamwu4565]

However, EVERY civilization is capable of destroying itself completely, simply by choosing not to reproduce. Class 0 should therefore be a civilization that isn't capable of destroying itself in less than a single lifespan.

[@kenos911]

Nah, since so far we’re the only ones who’d want to destroy ourselves

[@AlucTheMia]

@@kenos911 it's not specifically that the civilization WANTS to destroy itself, but rather that it CAN destroy itself, aka, it has the necessary resources to do so. In this scale, having nukes with no intent of ever using it has the same "score" as a civilization who is actively using them. I think destruction is crucial for the advancement of a species

[@arandomcommenter412]

Ehh, as civilizations get bigger I’d feel like it would get harder to destroy themselves, such as a lot of star systems

[@PenguinSage]

@@arandomcommenter412 Exactly, an advanced civilization would have to take thousands of years to destroy those pesky civilizations around the orbiting dwarf galaxies, even with the best death ray money can buy. Even a co-ordinated plan to self destruct at a specific time in advance to get around light lag, it will still take a while for everything to heat up and fall apart. So the minimum self destruct time has to plateau at some point.

[@BlowTorchDrizy1]

I love all the references even the tiny ones. Also, I feel the Type Omega civilization is truly the ultimate cos it could go even to the highest civilization on the postive scale and augment it, unless they too have something special the Omega citizen doesn't have.

I think those scale really reflects our current capitalist society in a way. Like where we define what makes us superior and make classes (classisms) to breed « innovation », without caring if the growing population is well put, or if the energy we use is recycled/ used in a productive cycled way, or if our constructions are adapted both for ourselves and our environment( right we build things in a perspective were it will be damaged after 30~ and less, very contrary to what other civilization did). Like we say woohoo we are « better » than animals because we can control our environment, but i don’t think that’s true, we can’t even control ourselves(gouvernement/ privet property) that demolish our environment and thus kills both ourselves and other living things, our goal shouldn’t to control nature, but to live in symbiosis within.

Yeah agreed For example we don't know that quantum fields or even gravitational fields could be manipulated, dyson spheres using actual solid rings or shells are impossible far as we know, (doesn't rule out swarms but those have gaps obviously)

[@nukl3argam3r38]

​@@orbismworldbuilding8428Could you Explain why Solid Dyson spjeres are Impossible?

[@orbismworldbuilding8428]

@@nukl3argam3r38 would require materials and methods of support strong enough to resist collapsing in towards the star. I could be shortsighted, maybe if it was built out of metamaterials of the strongest and lightest and most tensile material possible (so far thats carbon nanotubes), uses active support (things similar to pistons under constant power and stress to support it, powered by the captured output from the star), and spinning it to give it some resistance via centripital force But its either too early for us to know, or might just not be possible, feasible or worthwhile. A swarm is easier to repair, does exactly the same if its dense enough, doesn't need that structural integrity, can be moved if there's a solar flare or supernova or if they need to evacuate that star system in case of the star dying, they don't need to use much energy on holding the place together and can focus on whatever else they want to do, such as maybe storing it to last a long time. Its just easier and more practical to make a dyson swarm, even if it is at all possible to make a solid sphere

[@nukl3argam3r38]

@@orbismworldbuilding8428 You are Thinking in the Wrong Direction. Assuming the Technical Challenges can be Overcome, one could Build a Bunch of Orbital Rings at Different Inclinations and Angles to the Star. They Would Spin(Orbit) Faster than Orbital Velocity. The Rest of the Dyson Sphere (Solar Collecters, Mirrors, Lasers, Habitation, ect...) Would "sit" on These Rings, being Magnetically Supported by the extra Centrifugal Force (Remember they are Faster than Orbital Velocity). If this is Possible, Then so are Matrioshka Brains, Shell Worlds, Supermundane Worlds, ect...

[@orbismworldbuilding8428]

@@nukl3argam3r38 right, but the swarm is more repairable, less effort overall and can be easily moved should something go wrong. It can also take a lot less material to build. Plus you can live in O'Neil cylinders in the cloud of satelites at safer distances, they could be extremely customizable since they aren't attached to eachother, you could more easily just add more cylinders if your population gets larger and you can easily leave and join another dyson swarm as you wish, (gravitational forces and coordination permitted). Its ultimately just more flexible and practical and has more failsafes. Traditional dyson spheres just look cooler and are more impressive to think about, they're more a monument in that sense. Also yeah, if you can build a ringworld, a matrioshka or a dyson sphere then you can build the others. There's just not much practical incentive to making them i think. Not to say that someone wouldn't if they could, but i don't think that would really be the go-to for most species in the universe even if they are incredibly advanced, capable etc. Harvesting energy from black holes at their maximum requires a solid shell as far as im aware, so maybe we'd see more of those during the heat death of the universe, matrioshka brains built around black holes to maximize experience before there can't be any.
