What is the Kardashev Scale?
Proposed in 1964 by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev, it classifies civilizations not by their technology, but by how much energy they can harness and use.
Simply put:
Type I = Harnesses the energy of a planet.
Type II = Harnesses the energy of a star.
Type III = Harnesses the energy of a galaxy.
Energy is the true currency of civilization.
