[@orlando2292]

@@ValouroverFear If humanity doesn't self destruct in the next 500 years and invests more resources in technology within that time we for certain will be a Type 2 civilization. Mastering space flight within our Solar system would be key. Mining asteroids and certain moons starting with ours for helium 3 we'll get there. I'm sad I won't live to see it. Look how far we came in 100 or so years with the Einsteins, Tesla's and now Elon and Bezos. Enough innovation and we'll take over this Solar system and maybe even colonize other moons even planets! Imagine colonizing a dwarf planet by building a small space station and mining it for precious metals because in the end it all comes down to resources.

[@Deltexterity]

@@ValouroverFear we kill millions of members of our own species every year, either by violent crime, or war, or simply hoarding vital resources. we prioritize our individual selves over our whole species. i doubt a type 2 civilization like us in that way could ever even become a type 3 in the first place, since the more they advance, the faster they push back against their own progress via war. even if they don't eradicate themselves with antimatter bombs or some other super sci-fi weapon we haven't even conceived of, they could still destroy themselves faster than they expand, and never actually go further than controlling a few solar systems as result. even if they did become a type 3, they'd likely change their ways as result of it. a type 3 civilization has virtually unlimited resources and energy, far more than they could ever use. things like killing other species would no longer provide any advantage to them, so even if they were selfish they still wouldn't have any reason to do that. there aren't any materials on earth that they can't get unlimited of from other parts of the galaxy, and if anything it'd be more of a hassle for them to take from us than from planets without life, since our nukes could still delay them from mining whatever it is they want from earth for a few weeks at least. there's just no point in stealing or war when you become that powerful, it actually becomes more trouble than it's worth, so it makes no sense that they'd be "evil". compared to that, we're pretty primitive.

This is an interesting vlog about Prof Kardashev adapting Prof Leslie White’s Culture Law (Culture = Energy × Technology) to search/compare colonies or civilization & then expanded by Prof Carl Sagan. Technically it can be used to compare human colonies/countries/civilizations with non-human colonies/countries/civilizations (e.g. apes, wolves, ants, corals, fungi, algae, etc.) although anything beyond Class/Тип 3 sounds too hard/crazy to comprehend. Sadly if one compares US, China & Russia, it is sad to watch these “Super Power” nations are caught between the devil (terrorists, brutal-police, corrupt-officials, etc.) & the deep blue sea (fascism, pandemic, economic-depression, etc.). However this is Not very surprising since Dr Kaku & the late Prof Hawking have already warned that humanity will face greater & greater hardships+dangers as it progress towards Тип 1 status. Unfortunately there is also no/little chance of turning back the clock as the late Prof Sagan (& his team) has calculated that humanity has moved pass the Тип 0.7 status. In addition Dr Crabtree & Dr Woodley discovered evidence that with each passing generations, many humans are getting genetically/biological weaker, dumber, slower or fearter despite improved/improving food, water, healthcare, nutrition, internet, telecom, education, sanitation, infrastructure, etc. To make the situation worse, scientists has uncovered the 1st Species/Lifeform of Mass Destruction/Extinction (SMD i.e. a species/lifeform that literally had directly/indirectly cause massive destruction/extinction to multiple species/lifeforms). As such it is believed that there are now at least 2 active SMDs on Earth & a 3rd one maybe emerging/awakening. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail over the fanatics+hardliners & allow humanity to overcome these hardships+dangers. May the deaths+suffering of the innocents be merciful 🙏

As a stem cell researcher I think it's safe to say that biological research will greatly benefit our civilization in the following couple of hundred years given recent advances. Scientists have already found ways to precisely edit the DNA of cells, the costs of deciphering DNA sequences of humans have dropped from over 100 Million dollars to 80 dollars within 15 years, and we learned to make tiny organ-like structures called organoids in the laboratory which could be used for transplantation one day (I made a video about lab-grown mini brains some weeks ago). It will be so great to see what will happen in the future!

I think the largest barrier for a Type 3 will be fragmentation. They might be spread so far apart that they might become biologically and motive-wise so differentiated that one colony doesn't share any equal qualities with the others, effectively seperating them into several Type 2 civilizations.

[@NATIK001]

It's indeed hard to imagine how a Type 3 civ would stay cohesive. Probably the best bet as we know things now would be if they at some point in their development turned virtual and developed FTL communications. They don't need FTL travel then if they have FTL communication as a virtual species. Without proper FTL communication and/or travel it is likely any Type 3 or greater civ is doomed to forever fracture and not develop further in a significant way. It could very well be a universal roadblock for development on the civilization level. Such a civ could of course keep spreading, but without cohesiveness even if they spread across galaxies or galactic clusters, they could hardly be called a single civilization as the various parts could never coordinate.

[@AVerySillySausage]

@@misere4 You kind of just contradicted yourself though, because if they all advance at different rates, the chances are that some would advance even faster than we have and have had more time as well. You can't argue that we shouldn't make assumption about alien's based on our experience but then say actually the other civilisations are round about the same stage as us, that would be ridiculous. I think the most likely answer to the whole Fermi paradox thing is the most boring one. Firstly I think the idea of type 3 or above is a fantasy and civilisations will hit a hard limit due to the limits of space of travel, you end up with fragmented type 2 civilisations. On top of that life is probably just so insanely rare and then complex life on top of that it's too far apart to ever encounter other life. The universe is just so big that I find it really unlikely that we really are the only intelligent civilisation, but at the same time because it's so big I think it's completely reasonable to assume we will never ever encounter or find evidence of other life so are effectively alone.

There is also Type 5, 6 & 7. Type 5: A civilization would be advanced enough to escape their universe of origin and explore the multiverse. Such a civilization would have mastered technology to a point where they could build a custom universe. Once a Type V civilization has achieved this height, they would have to have mastered the physics of different universe and thus almost complete control over all basic parts of nature. Devices such as the monolith would be examples of their technology. Type 6: A civilization exists in the megaverse and is capable of creating and maintaining the fundamental laws of universes and multiverses. They exist in an infinite amount of simultaneously existing multiverses that represent an infinite amount of time-based outcomes and inter-universal laws for every one. They can also be regarded as paraversal as they exist outside or in parallel to the space-time continuum. Type 7: Otherwise known as K7 civilization would travel, transcend and ultimately oversee or ''be'' the Omniverse which is the collection of every single universe, multiverse, megaverse, paraverse, dimension (alternate or pocket) and realm. Everything is in the Omniverse, and there is only one Omniverse. It is likely that such power would come from an individual rather than a civilization, as the civilization would have transcended and merged into a single mind that would encompass all thoughts and all timelines, thus being omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. This is the Creator: a god above all gods, responsible for all of existence, past and future. While this is all theorized, it's still such beautiful scientific possibility to try to comprehend.

In fact, he finds the entire neighborhood empty. Should he find this strange?

It’s literally impossible for us to be alone with the size of the universe. The fact that life appeared on earth even ONCE but survived multiple extinction events shows how resilient life is already. The shear vast incomprehensibly large distances in the cosmos and the fact that we’ve only been looking for less than 100 years ( basically a nano second in a cosmic time scale) it’s no wonder we haven’t found anything. But it’s there.

[@obad7633]

Its not impossible and it's most likely. The universe is younge the chances of us being the first is very high

[@pandapops5428]

@@obad7633 True. the universe has still got a long way to go, possibly hundred if not thousands of billions of years until it ends while it is only 13 billion years old. Yes that's a long time already but there is the possibility.

[@obad7633]

@@pandapops5428 this is touched on in the video but we've observed billions of planets in the gold locks zone as of this year and none have come close to earth's conditions. That's not proof of anything other then they haven't developed as much as earth has. We have grown a brain so we can comprehend our existence but before us there was nothing for billions maybe trillions of years time doesn't exist in a sense with nothing to observe it. We may be the only things to ever advance before the universe collapses on its self and it wouldn't be that unreasonable.

[@pandapops5428]

@@obad7633 Yes we have found these many unsuitable planets but In the grand scheme of things, that is tiny. At the same time the planets that we have found could have life that is vastly different from that on earth and that has evolved to different conditions. Despite this, you have a point about us being the first intelligent lifeforms and it is a real possibility that i could believe. I just don't think we would be the last as i stated before, the universe still has a long time to go until it ends. In fairness both of us will most likely never know but it is fun to theorise and debate.

Now I'm really wishing that at some point you can make a video game based on this. Something educational, but with gameplay as engaging as Civilization or whatever similar game you prefer.

Unfortunately, our biggest flaw is the fact that we just can't seem to get along with one another, this why we still have wars in humanity, we are all to blame for this flaw, and this divide between every single human being on Earth is going to be the reason why it it is so hard for us to advance towards a space faring civilization, progress is also very slow and it saddens me that I cannot live in a more technologically advanced humanity but alas we must make the best of our time here on Earth to advance human civilization...
