The | The <b>Kardashev scale</b> is a method of measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement, based upon the total energy-usage of a civilization. The scale is exponential and hypothetical, and regards energy consumption on a cosmic scale. It was proposed in 1964 by Nikolai Kardashev, and then modified in 1973 by Carl Sagan, which is the scale that we use. | ||
The purpose of this wiki is to include an exhaustive list of sapient human and alien civilizations with an attempt to classify their origins, existence, technologies, computing level, energy usage, longevity, travel, possibility of extinction, and so on. | The purpose of this wiki is to include an exhaustive list of sapient human and alien civilizations, with an attempt to classify their origins, existence, technologies, computing level, energy usage, longevity, travel, possibility of extinction, and so on. When categorizing civilizations, we take into account factors such as data-usage, travel capabilities, and sub-type predictions, in addition to energy-usage. | ||
