Civilisations

The Kardashev scale divides civilisations in categories. But where are we on this list and on which factors depends this? This article will explain you how high the mankind is developed and what the next steps are.

The classification of civilisations by Kardashev

The Kardashev scale, developed by the Russian astronomer Nikolei Kardashev, categorises civilisations in three types. While a type 1 civilisation is only able to uses the whole energy of its planet, a type two civilisation can already use the whole energy of its

Space elevator

Just imagine a space elevator that brings us in a few minutes on the moon. Is that possible?

Potential

A space elevator or even a moon elevator could bring down the price of transport for one kilogram from around 50000 dollar to about 200 dollar. This would make space experiments much easier because more convenient. In addition to that there is also the possibility to use it for space tourism. But at first we have to solve the following five problems.

Remote stations for the mankind

Many science fiction movies tell us stories about a mankind that has several remote stations on several luminaries. But is that realistic or just fiction?

In the next 100 years we will probably have remote station in the following two places.

On the Moon

A continuous moon base brings many problems. The first one is that it would cost hundreds of billions of dollars to build and to keep such a basis.
In addition to that the moon doesn't have an

Dyson sphere

I wrote about what a civilisation would be able to do if it could use the whole energy of its solar system, but the question is how? This article will show you one way.

A Dyson sphere is a construction around a star which was developed by the physicist Freeman Dyson. It has the goal to capture the whole energy of a star
