    I read the comments and was surprised. No, not because I hadn't seen this video before. I've known about the Kardashev scale for a long time. I was surprised that no one makes obvious, far-reaching conclusions from this scale. For example: 1. Civilizations of the first and second types will never meet each other, for an obvious reason. They do not have F.T.L. (Faster Then Light) technology. It is not needed or optional to control the energy resources of their own planet (type 1), and even their own solar system (type 2). 2. Civilizations of type 3 and type 4 can communicate with each other, and / or with types 1 and 2, having F.T.L. technology (How else to control a galaxy with a diameter of 100,000 light years?). The question is – why? If you have power over the energy resources of the GALAXY and even more, then you have nothing to talk about with either the first or the second type. And they have nothing to offer you. 3. Civilizations of type 3 and 4 can visit types 1 and 2. But their interest in us is no more than our interest in dinosaurs. They won't even hide (UFOs), but they won't contact either. That's all. I don't know if Kardashev thought about this, but the logic is simple and obvious. Besides, we're still in Kansas, Dorothy. So hold your horses.

    We need real Quantum computers before ever hoping to become a Type 1!~
    Use the metals of Mercury to make a Dyson Sphere just 2-3 laps around the sun like the one at 7:35 in the video.
    You had to use the most inferior Flash that ever existed in the video, shame on u!~

    Yeah thats all great but what nobody ever tackles in these videos is since we will basically be immortal what do you do with billions and billions and billions of people. Food, resources etc. Are we just moving from planet to planet, consuming and killing the universe as we go along?

    We think of only advanced human life, it must have to be based on real achievements of us in this world, on individual civilization can succeed it's for reality, do you think it's possible, anyway new ideas may spring up as future generations haa to think about it. I think it's a burned subject for further genaration as we thought about our ancient civilizations by destroying them and our planet earth, in future what this planet Earth will be a speculation

    actually, our world has been destroyed before – at least the Mayans say that – even now we don't know how the pyramids were built go to India and Krishna's temple city was discovered built over 14,000 plus years ago. do we really know?

    the requirements of the kardachev scale is too rosy and unattainable. meaning the idea of what constitutes a civilization level is way off base and very unrealistic.

    electric cars are currently in the model T stage. its not currently all that popular right now. that could be a thing in a type 1 civilization.

    space travel with in the solar system wold be more with the type 2 civilization.

    Pre-cyborg would be type 1 where as advanced cyborg would be type 2

    weather modification would be more in line with a type 3 civilization.
    space travel outside solar system is type 3.

    type 4 – 6 were skipped, mainly because they involve generating immense amounts of energy to do stuff that are god like.

    as far as type 7, multiple universes and creating new ones would be a feature of that civilization. they would be almost god-like.

    to say nothing of other advanced aliens, who maybe way ahead of us in terms of being an advanced civilization.

    sorry for being a party pooper on this too rosy picture of the future.

    Contrary to this report, it will take less than thousands of years to advance to the point where we can harness the sun, our galaxy, and even the universe. We are just now grasping the fundamentals of the universe, and with this accomplishment and quantum computers to calculate our imaginations into reality, achievements will be exponential at a speed so rapid that it will require a quantum computer to keep up with the new inventions and discoveries. We will see so many simultaneous inventions and discoveries that knowing about them will require high levels of memory and superior intellect to keep up with the pace of evolutionary development occurring daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly!

    I don't think humanity will be able reach type 1 until things like greed, selfish, corruption and senseless war are overcome. Humanity has a habit of shooting itself in the foot by its own corrupt nature.
