Kardashev Scale

The Kardashev Scale is a way to measure a civilization's technological advancement based on the amount of energy it can harness and use. It has three main types: Type I uses all energy available on its planet (like solar, wind, etc.), Type II can utilize the energy of its star (such as building a structure around it), and Type III controls energy on the scale of an entire galaxy. This scale helps us understand how advanced a civilization might be, both in terms of energy mastery and technological capability.
