Michio Kaku's SHOCKING Theory on Type 3 Civilizations

Humanity is still dependent on oil, coal, and dead plants for energy, and we haven't yet reached planetary energy. But what would it take to move between universes or enter a black hole? According to Michio Kaku, we'd need to harness Type 3 energy—reaching the Planck energy, the same energy of a black hole and the Big Bang. We're at least a hundred thousand years away from this level of advancement. How would we recognize a Type 2 or Type 3 alien civilization if we encountered one? Explore the science behind black holes, the multiverse, and the energy required to break the light barrier in this fascinating discussion

100k years is not that long on planetary scale.

[davidkennedy]

Can't see that happening even in a million years! This is humans we're talking about!

[Deverything]

You'd have to eliminate greed. Good luck making it to 0.1.

[jamesgreenler]

I think the amount of energy available from the potential of FUSION energy is going to revolutionize things quite nicely.
When we have higher energy that we can play with for a while we will no doubt discover possibilities that were not available before.

[terrywhite]

I don't think we should be classified by how much energy we use.But how efficiently we can propel ourselves around the universe without leaving a signature.

[anorangewithacapybaraunder]

The first step is unifying the planet which is just impossible unless we meet an unbeatable enemy or calamity that forces us to do so.

[JoshVandever]

I think this scale is a total joke. We have nothing to compare too. We made it up, and we based it on our selves.

[Oneaspect]

There is no way to store energy enough to provide our planet with enough consistent power to thrive the only way to become a type 2 civilization is to rely on external sources but we are still limited on how to store and distribute such power.

[SeFu]

Why hasn’t another civilization reached the type 3 yet and contacted us? Ridiculous how lonely this universe makes you feel

[Nonexistent-B]

We define the relationship of each thing exactly as to us have it defined

[weepingcamel]

100k years is like blink of an eye in cosmic timeline no?

[reeves]

Was pleasantly surprised at the time it would take. I was thinking a magnitude higer.

[PeterWarwick-ux]

100, 000 years? Sorry, I can't wait that long.

[mountstephen]

Assuming we don’t blow ourselves up before then of course.

[danohanlon]

This is the first time I—in my nontheless fair degree of ignorance on the subject—find myself disagreeing with Professor Kaku. Surely, a “type-O” civilisation would be a pre-industrial, pre-scientific one for which beasts of burden as its principal power source.

[dustingoldsworthy]

Yeah, but the Malennial Falcon made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. So, yeah.. Force.

[markstamowlaros]

We are savage primitives with ego and arrogance to think we are the only life forms on the block. We are not. Instead, it’s been recorded throughout ancient sites that our origins are from the stars by ancient advanced cultures. We are genetic hybrids.

[MasonWhite-iz]

We are really 0.7 on the scale, correct me if I'm wrong.

[reviewjimeu]

That's assuming there are "other universes"

[jamesgreenler]

Imagine you have an impenetrable force field that can be adjusted to have the same reflectivity as a black hole .
Thats what is being observed with UAP craft in some cases. At other times they are lit up brilliantly like an incandescent light bulb . At other times.craft apear completely visible while being able to traverse the air into the water without destruction.
They're way more advanced than anything we have .
