Humanity’s computing energy has doubled each one to 2 years for the reason that Sixties, resulting in developments in synthetic intelligence that might tackle main technological boundaries.

The idea of the “Nice Filter” means that civilizations face existential threats, akin to nuclear warfare and local weather change, which can forestall them from advancing to increased ranges of technological growth.

A Kind 0 civilization, like humanity at this time, consumes roughly 10^13 watts of vitality, whereas a Kind I civilization would require not less than 10^16 watts, achievable throughout the subsequent 100-300 years if the Nice Filter is overcome.

Kind 2 civilizations, able to harnessing 10^26 watts of vitality, might emerge in about 3200 years, probably using buildings like Dyson Spheres to seize vitality from stars.

Kind 3 civilizations, which might harness vitality from stars throughout the galaxy, could take as much as 5800 years to develop, with the potential for instantaneous journey utilizing wormholes.

Superior civilizations past Kind 3, akin to Kind 4 and Kind 5, would manipulate galaxies and discover multiverses, whereas Kind 6 civilizations might exist in increased dimensions, transcending present bodily legal guidelines.

The seek for extraterrestrial intelligence stays difficult, with no confirmed indicators of Kind 1 or Kind 2 civilizations detected, regardless of the existence of probably liveable exoplanets in our galaxy.
