The Kardashev scale is a hypothetical framework for measuring the level of technological advancement of a civilization. It was proposed by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev in 1964, who classified civilizations into three types based on their energy consumption: Type I: A civilization that can harness all the energy available on its home planet. Type II: A civilization that can capture all the energy emitted by its home star. Type III: A civilization that can control all the energy in its home galaxy. But some people think that there might be civilizations even more advanced than Type III. They might be able to use all the energy from the entire universe, or even multiple universes. These are called Type IV and Type V civilizations, and they are like real gods. The difference between Type IV and Type V civilizations is not very clear, as they are both beyond our comprehension. However, one possible way of distinguishing them is based on their relationship with the multiverse.
