The scale is only theoretical and in terms of an actual civilization highly speculative; however, it puts energy consumption of an entire civilization in a cosmic perspective. It was first proposed in 1964 by the Soviet </wiki/Soviet_Union> Russian </wiki/Russia> astronomer </wiki/Astronomer> Nikolai Kardashev </wiki/Nikolai_Kardashev>. The scale has three designated categories called Type I, II, and III. These are based on the amount of usable energy </wiki/Energy> a civilization has at its disposal, and the degree of space colonization. In general terms, a Type I civilization has achieved mastery of the resources of its home planet, Type II of its solar system, and Type III of its galaxy \" \n\n\nHaving first been proposed in 1964 Wolfe may well have been aware of this when writing BOTNS.\n\n\n************************************************************************************************\nFind out more about us at www.bankofscotland.ie <http://www.bankofscotland.ie>\n\nThe information contained in this message is confidential and is intended for the addressee only.
