What if........
Scientists have made an intriguing discovery: they have detected peculiar radio signals originating from deep space. These enigmatic radio waves could potentially be bursts of cosmic energy emanating from a distant neutron star. On the other hand, there is a possibility that these signals are evidence of an incredibly advanced civilization located 90 light years away from Earth. So, what kind of civilization could possess the capability to transmit such powerful signals? Scientists use a classification system known as the Kardashev scale to categorize civilizations based on their technological prowess in harnessing energy. Although this scale has hypothetical levels, most scientists refer to only the initial stages. Currently, we find ourselves at Type zero, as the only known civilization, with the ability to tap into a fraction of our planet's energy potential. Each year, we consume approximately 18 trillion watts of power, but in order to become a Type 1 civilization, we would need to consume over 500 times that amount every second.
