Super civilization is a vague concept and needs to be defined. What is super civilization? There is no standard explanation. If compared with ancient times, we are now super civilized; Compared with primitive society, we are now super-civilized.
Think about the time before human society, or when Lamanu ape or Australopithecus just parted ways with chimpanzee ancestors 8- 10 million years ago. Isn't it a little? Will the sky become an ape? Taste, decided to go out of the jungle and open up new territory. At that time, even fire would not be born, and there was no complicated concept of language and time, only longing for a new life of ignorance.
If, at that time, underage apes saw someone slash and burn, having a banquet in a thousand rooms in midsummer, it must be what they thought was super civilization; In ancient times, when the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was in flames, I suddenly saw a car or train coming with a musket and a red gun. Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Zhou Yu will definitely think that this is a miracle, even worse than super civilization.
In the era of steam engine, when people were driving cars and trains with a speed of several tens of kilometers per hour and stumbling along dirt roads, they suddenly saw jet planes whizzing by, rocket ships taking off, helicopters falling from the sky, and the power of nuclear bombs chatting with a group of people on their mobile phones. Don't they think this is the arrival of a super civilization?
Therefore, the so-called super civilization is only a phased concept, and it is a dynamic concept that is constantly surpassing.
So what is the ideal super civilization of some people now? Probably the kind of civilization in science fiction movies. In the classic sci-fi movies "Star Wars", "Star Trek" and Interstellar, a kind of future society is described, which many people probably think is super civilization. That civilized human has been able to break through the speed bottleneck and go to the distant deep space; I have been able to communicate with various interstellar civilizations, and I am still immersed in killing and war; Already living in space city.
I don't think this description of the future is enough? Science fiction? It is also full of contradictions. In my imagination, the upgrading of civilization is an overall upgrading, including the upgrading of human beings themselves and the upgrading of all facilities. In fact, in all kinds of science fiction movies or literature, the degree of civilization is full of contradictions. On the one hand, speed and various technologies have developed to a very high level, on the other hand, low-level and backward things abound. For example, people are still the same, not only their faces are still the same, but their ideology is still in the cold war era, with all kinds of cattle and horses. Aliens? This is the ideological basis of the dark forest law and the chain of suspicion in Three-body.
On the images of spacecraft and other equipment, on the one hand, it has a shocking visual effect, on the other hand, every corner is full of various parts that were backward in the 1950s and 1960s. In many cases, it relies on manual control to avoid and solve dangerous crises. Needless to say, these are inconsistent with super civilization, and even some modern facilities are outdated. For example, the dragon spacecraft developed by American Space Exploration Technology Company has a perfect streamlined design, and the spacesuit has become light and fashionable. The docking with the space station is completely manual and automatic.
So I think people's ideal super civilization is wrong. Of course, there is also an understanding that flying saucers and aliens who have been circulating for more than 100 years think that these extraterrestrial civilizations are super civilizations.
? Flying saucer? Super Wen Mingzhen? Super? have you finished? Flying saucer is a kind that some people have been pursuing for decades and hundreds of years. Super civilization? But so far, I have only heard its voice but not its voice? People? . This? People? Of course, the so-called? Aliens? Yes
A lot of descriptions? Flying saucer? Describe the image of a discus with portholes. It flies quietly, stops when it wants to, turns 90 degrees or less when it wants to, and leaves when it wants to. Suddenly? It's gone. But these are just rumors and speculations, and no case has ever been scientifically confirmed.
And the image of aliens is completely invented by people. A big head like an awl, two big eyes, a nostril and a mouth, and small arms and legs. Generally speaking, they are exactly the same as people, but they are ugly. What can they do? On the earth, it is tossed around at will by human beings, and even dissected and studied.
Do you have any Japanese ones? Liang Jie incident? Spread widely. Some Xiong Haizi in Liangjie Town, Kochi Prefecture, Japan. They used several washbasins to pour alien UFOs, wrapped them in towels, roasted them, frozen them and flooded them, trying their best to deal with this so-called? Flying saucer? What's inside? Aliens? There is a cruel and tyrannical story. This story has far-reaching influence in Japan and even the world. Is it a different little head? Aliens? A classic version of. But then it disappeared, and these bears have no news of them. Now that they are old, I wonder how they feel about the farce when they were children.
In fact, this is all invented by some wonderful human beings. If it really happens, is this being ravaged by human beings? Aliens? Can also be regarded as super civilization? Why not be a low-level civilization?
Advanced civilization standard of science. There is no clear standard for the so-called super-civilization conjecture above, which basically belongs to nonsense fantasy. In the field of science, Kardashev's theory of hierarchy of cosmic civilization is generally accepted.
In the 1960s, there was a man named Nicholas in the Soviet Union. An astronomer in Kardashev put forward the theory that the civilization of the universe can be divided into three levels, holding that the ability of a civilized body to control and utilize energy is the most important measure of civilization. The civilizations of different galaxies have different energy scales controlled by civilization levels according to the sizes of galaxies and stars.
The first-class civilization is a planetary civilization, that is, a civilized body can completely control and utilize all the energy resources of its own planet, and human beings can completely control the earth. The total energy used for interstellar communication reaches1.71x1017j/s (joules per second);
The second-level civilization is a star-level civilization, that is, this level of civilization can completely control and utilize all the energy resources of the stars, and human beings can completely control the solar system. The total energy used for interstellar communication reaches 3.78 x10 26 j/s;
The third civilization is a galaxy-level civilization, that is, civilized bodies can completely control and utilize the energy resources of galaxies at this level, and humans completely control the galaxies, and the total energy used for interstellar communication reaches 4x 10 37j/s 0 37j/s.
So what is the level of human civilization now? According to relevant statistics, in 20 18, the global total power generation reached 26.6 1 trillion kwh, which was about 9.6x10/9j/a (joule/year). This is a year's consumption, and the total energy of civilization mentioned above is calculated in seconds. So how much electricity does human beings generate per second now? We simply calculated that it is 3.0x 10 12J/s, which is 1/57000 of the total energy required by the first-class civilization.
In other words, to achieve the energy consumption of the first-class civilization, it is necessary to increase the energy consumption by 57,000 times on the current basis. Moreover, this energy is mainly used for interstellar communication, and now our energy is mainly used for eating and living.
Some people think that human civilization has reached the level of 0.73, because the actual energy consumption of human beings now includes fuel consumption, coal consumption and other fuels, so the total consumption has reached more than 2x 10 13j/s, which is 8550 times less than the energy required by the first-class civilization. Some scientists believe that it will take another 200 years for human beings to reach the first-class civilization. To achieve this energy utilization rate, it is necessary to increase the consumption by an average of 1.0463 times every year from now on.
When human beings reach the first level of civilization, they completely control all the resources of the earth, and nuclear fusion is probably the most important energy source for human beings. At that time, human spacecraft could shuttle through the solar system, and they were no longer afraid of any disasters from the earth, including various geological disasters and extreme climate, as well as plagues and wars.
However, this civilization is not a super civilization, but a primary civilization. Humans are also afraid of disasters from outside the earth, including asteroid impacts and dramatic changes in the sun. The randomness of these disasters may destroy human civilization.
Secondary civilization is a super civilization that human beings can hardly predict. Realizing second-class civilization is a civilization that human beings can imagine at this stage. Our current energy consumption is worse than this civilization 18.9 trillion times. Some scientists believe that human civilization has entered the fast lane of development, and the progress of civilization development has increased exponentially. Even so, it will take 5000 years to reach this level of civilization.
When human beings reach this level of civilization, they can completely control the solar system and use the resources and energy of any planet in the solar system for our own use, including the sun itself. At that time, all the energy of the earth could not meet the needs of human deep space exploration and communication. Only by using the great energy of the sun, the main way for human beings to grab energy is to rely on the sun, and the way to achieve this goal is to build Dyson sphere.
The so-called dyson sphere was an American physicist and Einstein's assistant in 1960s. A theory proposed by Dyson. According to this theory, the only hope to solve the energy crisis based on the upgrading of human civilization is to make full use of the great energy of the sun, so dyson sphere must be built. Dyson sphere is a shell with a radius of1.5 ~ 200 million kilometers. Now scientists have evolved a variety of ideas about the composition of this shell, such as rings, sails, bubbles, nets and so on. These structures must wrap the sun and can convert all or most of the radiant energy of the sun into the energy needed by human beings.
When the construction was completed, mankind really entered the era of secondary civilization. At that time, the face of the solar system had completely changed. All the planets and small celestial bodies have been dismantled into building materials. The entire solar system has only one shell around the sun and the central sun. Humans have moved to the space city built on this shell structure, and some humans have flown to nearby galaxies to open up new human colonies.
Some ideas about the second-class civilized society. I can't describe the extent to which the mechanical equipment spacecraft in this era has reached, but at least there have been breakthroughs in these aspects: First, it has broken through the long-distance safety and survival support capabilities in deep space, and it can travel in deep space for decades, hundreds of years or even forever; The second is to break through the speed bottleneck. Wormhole crossing and warp navigation have become conventional technologies, but the range of activities is still only a star system within 100 light years.
Modern science fiction works mostly reflect the face of this period, but the description is contradictory, the biggest contradiction of which is the neglect of human upgrading.
This is the most important breakthrough in the upgrading of civilization and the way of human existence. In almost all sci-fi works, with the development of science and technology, human beings have always been the same, at most, their lifestyles have changed. This idea does not conform to the reality of the development process of the times, because now human beings are trying to overcome the problem of longevity, and the more advanced technologies are genetic engineering and consciousness engineering.
I think the ultimate solution to human life span is to get rid of the bondage of the body and get eternal life by storing and transferring consciousness. For a long time in the future, human beings will have a headache for constantly repairing their bodies, which will drag down human life. But in fact, human beings feel alive or dead, and the most important thing is consciousness. As long as consciousness can be preserved and transferred, so can human beings? Immortality? .
With the progress of science, it is no longer a myth to configure AI body or clone a human body, so the most important thing is to save and transfer consciousness as much as possible. Human consciousness can be preserved and played a role in any machine, and it is no longer bound by the body. This is the ultimate goal of human freedom, so that we can truly enjoy super civilization and go deep into space.
Therefore, only when human beings are separated from the body can civilization really move towards advanced level. Some people may think that this is pure nonsense and completely impossible. But now some top scientific research institutions have started this work. The famous ones are: Google team, which plans to transfer human consciousness to computer research within 40 years; Russian tycoon Dmitry izzpeskov has assembled the world's top scientific team and is carrying out a project called? Avatar project? The goal of our plan is to upload our consciousness to a virtual person. Will this person be our own in the future? Immortality? .
I don't necessarily believe that they will succeed in 40 years, but I believe that they will succeed in the future. Because people are originally composed of various elements that exist naturally, consciousness is born and exists in these elements. As long as science is developed enough to break through the subtle structure and functional essence of the human brain and decode its operating mechanism, consciousness may be preserved and transferred.
It will take another 5000 years to realize the second-class civilization. In these five thousand years, I think human beings can get rid of the bondage of the body and gain the freedom of the soul. Moreover, this is the only way for all civilizations to advance to a higher level. Without this key upgrade, advanced civilization is just empty talk.
The only demand of future civilization is energy. If human beings really get rid of physical fetters, they will save many unnecessary needs, such as houses, land, food, cars, planes and so on. , will become garbage. By then, all human needs will become spiritual needs, which can be solved through virtualization, just like the virtual people in The Matrix and their happy lives.
At this time, the only material need of human beings is energy, which can maintain the existence and activities of consciousness, and the energy of stars in the universe is inexhaustible.
We can think about how much changes will take place in the way of human life and deep space travel in the future if human beings are successfully upgraded. The human soul flies far away without a huge spaceship. A small structure can carry thousands of human consciousness. After reaching the destination, these consciousness can manipulate and utilize energy, create various machines and needed environments, and meet their own expansion needs.
What was human society like at that time? Still interested? Is there any connection between mankind and other civilizations? No comment, all these need to be described by everyone's imagination, but it is more logical to break through the shackles of existing society and ideology.
Tertiary civilization is a sacred civilization that human beings can't imagine at present. Now any description of the third-level civilization is pale and powerless. Some people put forward the concept of "4567 civilization", which is even more nonsense.
That's it. Welcome to participate in the discussion. Thanks for reading.
