A civilization reaching level I status according to the Kardashev scale still does not have the capacity to expand at the level of its solar system or its galaxy system.  This is not the case of a type II civilization that has managed to emerge to exploit all the energy of its sun ornsolar star. The Death Star for example is a fictional space station within the universe of the film Star Wars (3), that could be constructed by a civilization in the scale of type II of Kardashev to emulate the sphere of Dyson, a hypothetical megastructure proposed in 1960 by physicist Freeman Dyson, in an article in the journal Science called “Search for artificial stellar sources of infra-red radiation.”

The sphere of Dyson is basically a spherical shell of astronomical magnitude, with a radius equivalent to that of a planetary orbit around a star, which would allow an advanced civilization to take full advantage of the luminous and thermal energy of the star.(4) Type II civilization would have the power to control large-scale processes such as deflecting comets, asteroids or diverting glacial processes on a planetary scale or even the global warming process in which we are immersed.

A type III civilization achieves impressive developments managing to handle energies billions of billions of times superior to the energy capacity that is being managed in our planet Earth. Somehow it has managed to expand beyond its solar system and has learned to use the energy of its galaxy system. Somewhere in the galaxy there could be a civilization that has merged with its technology to expand its radius of action to the entire galaxy. Someday with the advances of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence AI our civilization could reach the status of this level of advanced civilization.

What would a Type IV civilization still have to achieve? Make use of the energy of the entire universe. A civilization of this kind would have full power to manipulate space and time. From there type V civilizations would reach such a power compared to that of a divine being or God.

The logic of the same scale could be extrapolated for the case of countries, organizations or even yourself. At what level of the scale you can handle information, energy or even your personal brand and what actions you could take to change your scale or sphere of action? Many professionals look for solutions to problems based on the scale in which they find themselves but do not do the impossible to change the scale of their sphere of action.
