Nikolai Kardashev
Nikolai Kardashev was a Russian astrophysicist best known for developing the Kardashev Scale, a method of measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement based on its energy consumption. Proposed in 1964, the scale categorizes civilizations into three types: Type I civilizations can utilize all available energy on their home planet, Type II civilizations can harness the energy of their star, and Type III civilizations can control energy on the scale of their entire galaxy. Kardashev's work has had a profound impact on the study of extraterrestrial intelligence and the future of human civilization, influencing both scientific thought and popular culture.
