The Kardashev Scale says how much energy is needed to control something. We are type 0.7 on the Kardashev Scale. The measure was proposed by Nikolai Kardashev in 1964. The original Kardashev scale divides civilizations into Types 1-3, although extensions used on this wiki are also commonplace.
With using this formula:
K
=
log
10
P
−
6
10
{\textstyle K={\frac {\log _{10}P-6}{10}}}
, we can calculate our Kardashev Scale. The
P
{\textstyle P}
means power, or how many power it uses.
