The Kardashev scale is a method of measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement based on the amount of energy it is able to use. The measure was proposed by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev in 1964. The scale is hypothetical, and regards energy consumption on a cosmic scale. The Kardashev scale has three designated categories, these are: A Type I civilization, also called a planetary civilization, can use and store all of the energy available on its planet. A Type II civilization, also called a stellar civilization, can use and control energy at the scale of its planetary system. A Type 1 civilization (also known as the planetary civilization) has the capacity to harness all the energy of its home planet, utilizing all the energy that reaches the planet (like solar) and all the energy it can produce (thermal, hydro, wind, etc). Type II Civilizations are civilizations that have control over more than one stellar system, and/or theoretically are able to harness all the power available in a single star (per Dyson). So, a civilization that employs some form of faster-than-light travel is likely to be considered a Type II Civilization. A Type II civilization, also called a stellar civilization, can use and control energy at the scale of its planetary system. A Type III civilization, also called a galactic civilization, can control energy at the scale of its entire host galaxy. Type III. A civilization in possession of energy at the scale of its own galaxy, with energy consumption at ≈4×10⁴⁴ erg/sec. Lemarchand stated this as a civilization with access to the power comparable to the luminosity of the entire Milky Way galaxy, about 4×10⁴⁴ erg/sec (4×10³⁷ watts). Type IV Civilizations are civilizations that have control over multiple galaxies. , and theoretically are able to harness all the power available in those galaxies. A Type IV civilization, or K4 civilization harnesses the power of its own supercluster of galaxies, and eventually its universe of origin, and become effectively immortal. A civilization this advanced could tap into the mysterious dark matter and manipulate the basic fabric of spacetime. Lemarchand defined civilizations of this type as having access to power comparable to the luminosity of the entire Milky Way galaxy, about 4×10⁴⁴ erg/sec (4×10³⁷ watts). Kardashev believed that a Type 4 civilization was impossible, so he did not go past Type 3. However, new types (0, IV, V, VI) have been proposed. A Type V civilization would be advanced enough to to escape their universe of origin and explore the multiverse. Such a civilization would have mastered technology to a point where they could simulate or build a custom universe. A Type VI or K6 civilization exists in the megaverse and is capable of creating and maintaining the fundamental laws of universes. They exist in an infinite amount of simultaneously existing multiverses that represent an infinite amount of instances and all laws of physics. The type VI exists outside of time and space, and is capable of creating universes and multiverses, and destroying them just as easily. It's similar in concept to a deity. It's hard to imagine a story with such a civilization, since its perfection and indestructible nature would offer little conflict potential. A type VII or K7 civilization would travel, transcend and ultimately oversee or ''be'' the Omniverse which is the collection of every single universe, multiverse, megaverse, paraverse, 11d dimension and 1st realm (reality). Everything is in the Omniverse, and there is only one Omniverse. A Type 8.0 Civilization is one that has an energy consumption of 10⁸⁶ watts and it can control the entire Xenoverse. It is way more of God than man. But it can take 10⁶³ years to reach this civilization! A Type 9.0 Civilization is one that has an energy consumption of 10⁹⁶ watts and it can control the entire Hyperverse. They have broken out of all of the layers of simulations, and are now inside the physical location of the simulation. A Type 10 Civilization is one that has an energy consumption of 10¹⁰⁶ watts and it can control the entire Megaverse. They would be incredibly powerful. A Type 10 is formed when the creators of a megaversal simulation are overthrown by a Type 9 civilization using simularegulators. A Type 12.0 Civilization is one that has an energy consumption of 10¹²⁶ watts and it can control the entire Teraverse. A Type 13.0 Civilization is one that has an energy consumption of 10¹³⁶ watts and it can control the entire Petaverse. A Type 14.0 Civilization is one that has an energy consumption of 10¹⁴⁶ watts and it can control its entire local Exaverse. These civilizations have millions of Godverses in their domain, garnering special attention from God, who by this point will either destroy the civilization entirely or remain neutral. A Type XV civilization exist on the highest planes outside reality where non-reality and dimensions intertwine and have unlocked the secrets of the absolute dimensions (ADs). A Type XX civilization exists beyond the highest planes outside reality and non-reality. They are the Gatekeepers of the Beyond. They are the Beyonders. They have immeasurable power and will prevent any lower-level beings from breaching their sacred realms of existence.
