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.

Kardashev's has given rise to numerous scenarios exploring the possibility of more evolved civilizations. These scenarios each question in their own way, defining a civilization: energy sources, technology and the transmission of interstellar messages. 

The purpose of this classification is to guide the search for extraterrestrial civilizations, particularly within SETI, in which Kardashev participated, and this on the assumption that a fraction of the energy used by each type is intended to communicate with other civilizations. 

To make this scale more understandable, they compare the speed of transmission across the galaxy of a volume of information equivalent to a medium-sized library. 

For example: 
A type 2 civilization can send this data by means of a transmission beam emitting for only 100 seconds. A similar amount of information can be sent across intergalactic distances of about ten million light years, with a transmission time of several weeks. 
A type 3 civilization can transmit this same amount of data to the entire observable universe with a transmission time of 3 seconds.

Kardashev believes that it will take humanity 3,200 years to reach Type 2, and 5,800 years to reach Type 3, but physicist and futurist Michio Kaku suggested that, if humans increase their energy consumption at an average rate of 3 percent each year, they may attain Type 1 status in 100–200 years, Type 2 status in a few thousand years, and Type 3 status in 100,000 to a million years. 

A Type I civilization is usually defined as one that can harness all the energy that reaches its home planet from its parent star.

A Type 2 civilization is capable of harnessing the energy radiated by its own star, or example, by means of the successful completion of a Dyson sphere or Matrioshka brain. 

Note 1: A Dyson sphere is a hypothetical megastructure that completely encompasses a star and captures a large percentage of its solar power output. 

Note 2: A Matrioshka brain is a hypothetical megastructure of immense computational capacity powered by a Dyson sphere. It is an example of a class-B stellar engine, employing the entire energy output of a star to drive computer systems. 

A Type 3 civilization is in possession of energy at the scale of its own galaxy. Civilizations of this type as having access to power comparable to the luminosity of the entire Milky Way galaxy.

A Type 4 civilization can control or use the entire universe while a Type 5 civilization can control collections of universes as well as there is a Type 6 multidimensional civilization and a Type 7 creator civilization what is discussed in the video below. 

At the current time, humanity has not yet reached Type 1 civilization status, we are only at level 0.72

      The weight of the gods was crushing, their toil beyond endurance. Let the burden pass to humankind! So speak the oldest verses carved into clay, a fragment from the Atrahasis tale of Mesopotamia. Yet what if these divine figures were not simply legends? What if the stories hint at something far older and stranger than we have allowed ourselves to believe? The name Anunnaki comes from the etched symbols of Sumerian records, their lines recounting the deeds of deities who shaped the world and watched over the Earth. 

      From the cradle of ancient Mesopotamia comes a story older than any empire, etched into clay tablets and whispered through time: the tale of the Anunnaki. Were they gods, symbols, or something far stranger visitors from beyond the stars who shaped human civilization? The myths of Sumer speak of creation, rebellion, giants, and a great flood. But when paired with the ancient astronaut theory, these legends take on a new dimension, one that could rewrite human history.  
      Who were the Anunnaki? In the ancient Sumerian texts of Mesopotamia, they are described as the offspring of An, the sky god, and Ki, the earth goddess. Their names appear across the Atrahasis epic, the Enuma Elish, the Epic of Gilgamesh, and the Sumerian King List, etched into clay tablets more than 4,000 years ago. 
      To mainstream historians, the Anunnaki are mythological gods. Yet in the ancient astronaut theory, they were real beings, extraterrestrial visitors who shaped early civilization. 
      Author Zecharia Sitchin popularized the idea that the Anunnaki came from Nibiru, a hidden “twelfth planet” on a long, elliptical orbit. According to his interpretation of Sumerian records, the Anunnaki faced an environmental crisis. Their planet’s atmosphere was failing, and the solution they sought was gold, which could be ground into particles and suspended as a shield. 
      This quest for survival brought them to Earth more than 400,000 years ago. They mined resources, altered life, and may even have engineered humanity itself. 
      The tablets describe how the lesser gods, the Igigi, were forced into back-breaking labor until they rebelled. To replace them, the Anunnaki created humans. 
      In myth, mankind was formed from clay mixed with divine blood. In Sitchin’s interpretation, this was genetic engineering: the fusion of Anunnaki DNA with Homo erectus. The first prototype was Adamu, a name that echoes the biblical Adam. 
      The Sumerian “Edin,” later mirrored in the Hebrew Eden, may not have been a paradise garden but an Anunnaki laboratory outpost. 
      Two Anunnaki brothers shaped humanity’s destiny: Enki – the god of wisdom and waters, often seen as humanity’s ally, granting knowledge. Enlil – stern and authoritarian, seeking control and fearing that humans might grow too powerful. Their rivalry runs through Mesopotamian myth, influencing stories of divine punishment, survival, and human struggle. 
      Over time, some Anunnaki defied the rules and took human women as partners. Their offspring were the Nephilim, giants and “mighty men of renown.” The Book of Enoch calls their fathers the Watchers, led by Shemyaza.  
      According to the stories, these hybrids grew violent, corrupted the world, and became uncontrollable. The solution was drastic: a great flood to wipe the Earth clean. 
      The Atrahasis epic, the story of Utnapishtim in the Epic of Gilgamesh, and the biblical Noah all describe the same event: a chosen man warned by a god, a vessel built to preserve life, animals carried aboard, and birds released to find land. Humanity survived, but weaker, with shorter lifespans, and forever changed. 
      Supporters of the ancient astronaut theory believe the Anunnaki left traces in stone: 
      Mesopotamian ziggurats – described as “bonds between heaven and earth,” possibly landing platforms. 
      The Great Pyramid of Giza – aligned to true north, massive in scale, theorized as a power plant or beacon rather than a tomb. 
      Megalithic monuments worldwide – stone circles, cyclopean walls, and sacred sites possibly linked to Anunnaki influence. 
      The Sumerian King List also suggests a divine legacy, describing rulers with lifespans of thousands of years, perhaps evidence of semi-divine hybrids. 
      Mainstream archaeology sees the Anunnaki as symbolic deities, metaphors for cosmic order and human struggle. But in alternative history, they were real beings, extraterrestrial visitors from Nibiru, who shaped civilization, taught astronomy, metallurgy, agriculture, and law, and left their mark in myths and monuments that endure to this day.

      Alien Probe or Interstellar Comet? The Shocking Truth About 3I/ATLAS!
    • By USH
      For three days, military aircraft circled the quiet Welsh village of Pentyrch, as if anticipating something extraordinary. Then, on Friday, February 26, 2016 at exactly 2:30 AM, their patience was rewarded as a colossal black/glowing pyramid-shaped object suddenly materialized in the sky above the village. 

      What followed was a four-minute battle between military forces and unknown objects that left witnesses paralyzed and the government scrambling to cover their tracks. 
      Caz Clarke watched the entire encounter unfold from her backyard. She witnessed something “absolutely out of this world.”  
      She recalled being drawn outside in the early morning hours by an overwhelming light illuminating the fields behind her home. Above her loomed a massive pyramid-shaped object glowing in the night sky. 
      Clarke described how the UFO appeared to “scan” her before releasing two smaller objects, one red, one green, that split off in opposite directions. 
      For eight years, she fought the Ministry of Defense to uncover the truth. Her investigation revealed illegal operations, falsified documents, and a coordinated cover-up that reached the highest levels of government. 
      The evidence suggests our military has protocols for hunting UFOs and procedures for retrieval operations. This wasn’t an isolated event — it was part of an ongoing, hidden agenda.

      3I/ATLAS as an interstellar visitor, discovered on July 1. Estimated to be up to 15 miles (24 kilometers) wide, it’s barreling toward the Sun at over 130,000 mph. Fortunately, it won’t come closer to Earth than 1.6 astronomical units — about 150 million miles (240 million kilometers) according to NASA. 

      NASA insists there's no reason for concern — it’s just a comet, end of story. But here's where things get interesting: 3I/ATLAS is the third known interstellar object to enter our solar system, following the enigmatic ‘Oumuamua in 2017 and comet Borisov in 2019. And like those two, it behaves in ways that deviate from what we expect of natural comets. 
      A newly published paper on the preprint server arXiv (July 16) challenges NASA’s official explanation. The study, co-authored by three scientists, including Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, suggests that 3I/ATLAS might not be a comet at all. Instead, the team proposes it could be an artificial object: a surveillance probe sent by an unknown extraterrestrial intelligence, possibly even one with hostile intent. 
      Loeb, warns that if this hypothesis turns out to be accurate, the consequences for humanity could be profound. He suggests that preparing defensive countermeasures might be necessary if this object poses a real threat. 
      What makes 3I/ATLAS so unusual? 
      According to Loeb, the object’s trajectory is so rare that the odds of a natural comet following the same path are less than 0.005%. 
      It will pass unusually close to three planets — Venus, Mars, and Jupiter — raising further suspicion. 
      Most telling of all: 3I/ATLAS lacks a coma, the cloud of gas and dust that typically surrounds comets. 
      "When analyzed with an open mind, the data offers compelling evidence that 3I/ATLAS may be technological in nature," Loeb explained. 
      In fact, Loeb outlines eight specific reasons why this object likely isn't a natural interstellar visitor — and why it may be of artificial origin. (You can read his full breakdown (here). 
      The idea that this mysterious object might be an alien craft, possibly one preparing for closer contact with Earth, is unsettling to say the least. For now, we can only wait, watch... and wonder. View the full article
