  • T.

  • A.

  • 102 It is the first official Soviet effort in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and it inspires Carter Chef to speculate that alien civilizations could exist that are millions or even billions of years ahead of us.

  • He creates what is known as the carnage chef scale.

  • Ah, classifications game, ranking three levels of civilizations based on their ability to harness energy.

  • A Type one.

  • Civilization has the energy of an entire planet.

  • They might, for example, control the weather, earthquakes, volcanoes.

  • They can modify them.

  • They have the power of a planet That's type one A Type two.

  • Civilization has mastered the energy of a star.

  • They've colonized the nearby planets very similar to the federation of planets.

  • Like in Star Trek, star Jack would be a Type two civilization.

  • Then this type three Going like this, they roam the galactic space lanes.

  • They harnessed the power of black holes.

  • But that assumes that they're just type one.

  • What happens if they are 1000 years ahead of us?

  • Or for a type three civilizations 100,000 years more advanced than us?

  • New laws of physics began to open up, and all the Baja humbugs have to be thrown out the window because a new scale of physics emerges when you are type to our type three.
