Faster and faster development of civilization. Thousands of years ago, people are still slash and burn; hundreds of years ago, people have just invented the steam engine; decades ago, humans and encouragement to finally get rid of gravity. And now, humans have the ability to have enough of any one planet of the solar system. Then a few years later it? Hundreds of years later it? Thousands of years later it? Human evolution scenario they look like? --- Introduction
The universe is immense, natural, which also has numerous civilizations inevitable, according to the level of development of civilization, we can divide them into three levels:
A class II, III civilization
* I type - a civilization that can take advantage of all the available energy in a planet - about 10 ^ 16W or 10 ^ 17W available. Earth provides the power to 1.74 × 1017 W (174 petawatts). Kardashev the original definition was 4 × 10 ^ 12W Committee - a 'close to the current level of technology of the Earth "(representative of the current year 1964).
* II type - a civilization that can take advantage of all the available energy from a single star, approximately 4 × 10 ^ 26W, this figure is variable; sun produce approximately 3 .86 × 10 ^ 26W Kardashev's original definition is 4 × 10 ^ 26W
* III type - a civilization able to use all of the available energy from a single galaxy, approximately 4 × 10 ^ 37W This figure is very variable, since different galaxies are very different
Specific point, a kind of civilization where they have mastered all the objects in the planet. Including: wind, earthquakes, lightning and planetary satellites. They can control the climate, preventing earthquakes in the crust mining, harvesting in the ocean.
Once you reach a kind of human civilization, the world will be evenly distributed rainfall, North Africa, the Sahara desert, the Taklimakan Desert in Xinjiang will become lush and green grasslands. People can trim the Bering Strait dam and other places in order to stop the coming of the next ice age. Japan finally out of the shadow of the earthquake, people around the world will sit back and relax. As on Earth, all resources and energy are controlled, so even small planet can accommodate hundreds of billions of people live. In addition, a class of civilization has been the other planets in the solar system reclamation. Perhaps you will worry and said: "extrasolar planet's energy to be exhausted!!!" No, do not worry, when humans have evolved to the Type II civilization
Type II civilization is stellar control (such as solar) energy civilization itself. In our heads, a huge sun generations to give us warmth and vitality, its quality is the sum of the mass of other planets hundred times. Every hour the sun radiant heat to outer space, but most have been wasted, and the Type II civilization, the energy required is enormous, only mine all the sun's energy in order to maintain the existence of two types of civilization. How mining it? People will build one around the sun, "Dyson sphere", so that the heat will be every bit do our best to be used. In our universe, the planet is far less than the number of stars. Type II civilization once the control of the sun, it may have been to other star forward, they will star into a planet, so that more people survive. This step is for them to realize there are a variety of ways, for two types of civilization, the part of the universe can be reshaped.
Three types of civilization is to control the entire galaxy of energy civilization. On energy, they mastered the billions of star systems even more energy, they have mastered the Einstein equations, can freely maneuvering space.
Create three types of civilization one option is to get a supernova or a black hole of energy (almost limitless) three civilizations starship might be able to detect star system - that is perhaps the most mysterious of all energy sources. Astrophysicists have proposed theories: As a huge scale galactic nuclei, so our galactic center may contain millions of black holes. If that were the case, we will get unlimited energy.
Relative to them, our civilization can be classified zero human civilization, we have just started developing planetary energy. But there is no technology and methods to control them. Zero class like us civilized, only from oil, coal and a class of mineral fuels and raw human labor to gain energy, even our largest computer can not accurately predict the climate, not to mention the climate control. Background from a larger perspective, our civilization is like a babbling baby.
In primitive society, human energy is the only relying on his hands, which is about one-eighth horsepower. When people wandering in the land, animals, hunting and looking wildly knot teams grain. From the energy point of view, when the human is still in ignorance stage, the text is not generated, civilization is not started. This happens only in the last one hundred thousand years it has changed. With the invention of hand tools, the physical features of human development: expanding the arms spears, sticks to expand his fists, and then expand the jaw knife skills. At this stage, the energy output has doubled, up to a quarter horsepower - civilization sprout.
After more than two hundred years of development, human civilization is still wandering zero class. We now get the maximum energy is the hydrogen bomb, but a simple hurricane can produce hundreds of pieces hydrogen bomb of energy. If things go on, when are we going to reach more than several civilizations it? Perhaps millions of years can not be achieved. This is really frustrating
