in 1964 Nikolai Kardashev proposed a hypothetical scale for measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement based on the amount of energy it is able to use.  A type one civilization for example would be able to harness the power of its planet, for humans the advancement of fusion or anti-matter reactors could lead to such a level.  Where a Type 2 could build megastructures that harness the power of their sun and a Type three would be able to literally rule their entire galaxy.  Anything beyond even to present day humanity which by the way rates in a negative on the scale would seem to validate the words of Arthur C Clarke when he stated “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”.  Join us in this highly speculative episode as we delve into some of the ideas surrounding these hypothetical advanced life forms. We will look for signs of possible past contact and settlements on earth and try to peer into the future of our own species to see how far we might be able to make it on the Kardeshev scale,  on this episode of Wild & Weird Radio. 

Thank you all for the continued support.
