Forecasting the progression of human civilization on the Kardashev Scale through 2060 with a machine learning approach

Energy has been propelling the development of human civilization for millennia. Humanity presently stands at Type 0.7276 on the Kardashev Scale, which was proposed to quantify the relationship between energy consumption and the development of civilizations. However, current predictions of human civilization remain underdeveloped and energy consumption models are oversimplified. In order to improve the precision of the prediction, we use machine …

10 Startling Things You Didn't Know About the Kardashev Scale

Many assume that the Kardashev Scale was introduced through a prestigious academic publication, closely followed by global astronomers. However, it first appeared in a Soviet-era radio astronomy publication in 1964. Nikolai Kardashev developed the scale while preparing for a program investigating extraterrestrial signals detected by the Soviet space program. The scale’s original purpose was to evaluate civilizations based on their level of energ…
