Project Ascension

All projects are dedicated to assisting humanity with the transition toward becoming a sustainable, emissionless, waste-free, renewable energy, space faring, open, free, economically prosperous future society, or Type 1 Civilization.

There are many steps towards becoming a Type 1 Civilization, and I am always on the lookout for any serious projects that are making headway towards this goal.

The Council on Foreign Relations(Foreign Policy Advisory Board), Trilateral Commission(Financial Consolidation), and the Bilderberg Group (oil) are working towards a "New World Order" or "One World Government" with a world court, which is an oppressive, imperialist or totalitarian police state form of future Government.

Every single war in history has been fought over riches, or natural resources. The only way we will ever see world peace is through the creation of (or transformation into) a completely sustainable society.

We cannot have world peace without total sustainability. We must first begin looking at how to live sustainably. Produce zero waste, recycle everything, use all renewable energy, etc.

We live at one of the most remarkable and epic times in all of human history. The transition between Type 0 and Type 1. The "graduation" of the human species to a higher plane of existence. Or also quite possibly a descent into a hellish Orwellian Style Police State.

Michio Kaku on The Future of Civilization:

My Critique of Kaku's statements about One World Government:

Dr. Kaku makes his first epic mistake when he begins confusing a Type 1 civilization with a need for a Planetary One World Government... He even goes as far as to suggest that this is the only way to unify our cultural differences throughout the world. In fact, consolidation and imperialism is contradictory to the progress and evolution of our species as it benefits a select few at the top of the Pyramidal power structure, while enslaving the rest. This is actually closer to George Orwell's "1984" or Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World", which are the nightmarish prophetic visions of the future we should never forget about or ignored...

In addition to being very confused about which transition we are actually talking about (The Transition to Type 1 or the Transition into a Orwellian Police State) Michio Kaku then claims that the people who do not want this transition are "The Terrorists", essentially advocating that people who resist the formation of a One World Government 'should be rounded up and put into prisons' or otherwise treated as "Terrorists"...

This cleverly blurred distinction between the Transition to a Type 1 and the formation of a One World Government (aka New World Order) and the labeling of anyone who is against it as a "Terrorist" is nothing more than a propaganda tool being used to target the scientific and futurist community and get them to support the elite's One World Government of the Super-Rich Elite, by the Super-Rich Elite and for the Super-Rich Elite. All while thinking it is for the future of science, culture, and progress...

The Kardashev scale

The Kardashev scale is a method of measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement, based on the amount of energy a civilization is able to utilize. The scale has three designated categories called Type I, II, and III. A Type I civilization uses all available resources impinging on its home planet, Type II harnesses all the energy of its star, and Type III of its galaxy. The scale is only hypothetical, but it puts energy consumption in a cosmic perspective. It was first proposed in 1964 by the Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev. Various extensions of the scale have been proposed since, from a wider range of power levels (types 0, IV and V) to the use of metrics other than pure power.

Definition

In 1964, Kardashev defined three levels of civilizations, based on the order of magnitude of power available to them:

Type I

"Technological level close to the level presently attained on earth, with energy consumption at about 4×1019 erg/sec[1] (4 × 1012 watts.) Guillermo A. Lemarchand stated this as "A level near contemporary terrestrial civilization with an energy capability equivalent to the solar insolation on Earth, between 1016 and 1017 watts."[2]

Type II

"A civilization capable of harnessing the energy radiated by its own star (for example, the stage of successful construction of a Dyson sphere), with energy consumption at about4×1033 erg/sec.[1] Lemarchand stated this as "A civilization capable of utilizing and channeling the entire radiation output of its star. The energy utilization would then be comparable to the luminosity of our Sun, about 4 × 1026 watts."[2]

Type III

"A civilization in possession of energy on the scale of its own galaxy, with energy consumption at ?4×1044 erg/sec."[1] Lemarchand stated this as "A civilization with access to the power comparable to the luminosity of the entire Milky Way galaxy, about 4 × 1037 Watts."[2]

Energy development

Type I civilization methods

  • Large-scale application of fusion power. According to mass-energy equivalence, Type I implies the conversion of about 2 kg of matter to energy per second. An equivalent energy release could theoretically be achieved by fusing approximately 280 kg of hydrogen into helium per second,[6] a rate roughly equivalent to 8.9×109 kg/year. A cubic km of water contains about 1011 kg of hydrogen, and the Earth's oceans contain about 1.3×109 cubic km of water, meaning that this rate of consumption could be sustained over geological time scales.
  • Antimatter in large quantities would have a mechanism to produce power on a scale several magnitudes above our current level of technology. In antimatter-matter collisions, the entire rest mass of the particles is converted to kinetic energy. Their energy density (energy released per mass) is about four orders of magnitude greater than that from using nuclear fission, and about two orders of magnitude greater than the best possible yield from fusion.[7] The reaction of 1 kg of anti-matter with 1 kg of matter would produce 1.8×1017 J (180 petajoules) of energy.[8] Although antimatter is sometimes proposed as a source of energy, this is currently infeasible. Artificially producing antimatter according to current understanding of the laws of physics involves first converting energy into mass, so there is no net gain. Artificially created antimatter is only usable as a medium of energy storage but not as an energy source, unless future technological developments (contrary to the conservation of the baryon number, such as a CP Violation in favour of antimatter) allow the conversion of ordinary matter into anti-matter. There are a number of naturally occurring sources of antimatter [9][10][11] we may theoretically be able to cultivate and harvest in the future.
  • Renewable energy through converting sunlight into electricity by either solar cells and concentrating solar power or indirectly through wind and hydroelectric power. Currently, there is no known way for human civilization to successfully use the equivalent of the Earth's total absorbed solar energy without completely coating the surface with man-made structures, which is presently not feasible. However, if a civilization constructed very large space-based solar power satellites, Type I power levels might be achievable.

    Type II civilization methods

  • A Dyson sphere or Dyson swarm and similar constructs are hypothetical megastructures originally described by Freeman Dyson as a system of orbiting solar power satellites meant to enclose a star completely and capture most or all of its energy output.[12]
  • Perhaps a more exotic means to generate usable energy would be to feed a stellar mass into a black hole, and collect photons emitted by the accretion disc.[13][14] Less exotic would be simply to capture photons already escaping from the accretion disc, reducing a black hole's angular momentum; known as the Penrose process.
  • Star lifting is a process where an advanced civilization could remove a substantial portion of a star's matter in a controlled manner for other uses.
  • Antimatter is likely to be produced as an industrial byproduct of a number of megascale engineering processes (such as the aforementioned star lifting) and therefore could be recycled.
  • In multiple-star systems of a sufficiently large number of stars, absorbing a small but significant fraction of the output of each individual star.
  • White holes, if they exist, theoretically could provide large amounts of energy from collecting the matter propelling outwards.
  • Capturing the energy of gamma-ray bursts is another theoretically possible power source for a highly advanced civilization.
  • Type III civilization methods

  • Type III civilizations might use the same techniques employed by a Type II civilization, but applied to all possible stars of one or more galaxies individually.[15]
  • They may also be able to tap into the energy released from the supermassive black holes which are believed to exist at the center of most galaxies.
  • The emissions from quasars can be readily compared to those of small active galaxies and could provide a massive power source if collectable.
