  • Perhaps a type three civilization is far beyond the point of using robots.. Why would we just assume that they haven't been around long enough to figure out how to travel through space instantly using some kind of, perhaps, worm hole type tech...something that would take them where they needed to go instantly or nearly so? Why is he limiting them to our constraints and ideas I wonder.

  • Kaku, I've watched too much sci-fi to like the idea of having millions upon millions of robots flying around in space! We'd better have damn good control over them!

  • Frankly, the transition from type 1 to type 2 sounds far more interesting to me :-) Hopefully we'll find some way to live long enough to see such a time

  • This guy could be 100% wrong and i would still end up believing him because hes just that good of a speaker...

  • hmm i beg to differ. Project Haarp would suggest we are already a type 1 civilization. also this sounds a little like he's trying to push the NWO in a good light rather then what it really is. This also implies that just cause a type 1 may be more advanced, it does not imply a peaceful civilization.

  • @89897654321duh It would have to be peaceful to be labeled "type 1" We're clearly not there because we have entire countries who still oppose major western powers (which are the most advanced nations). I've seen us calculated as "type 0.7" which sounds about right: we're getting there but there's still a lot of resistance to a global economy. As the U.S. continues to decline over the next decade, though, that resistance will disappear as our country is forced to loosen it's monopolistic grip

  • @bernlin2000 Actually, if you do the math, assuming we maintain roughly 3% per year exponential growth in energy capture, we're a (1.03)^(-100) = 0.052 civilization, assuming you believe in 3% growth per year and the 100 year estimate.

  • we are type -1 but soon we will be type 0.... probably next next!

  • we can skip 1 and go to 2 we maybe looking in the wrong areas for reserching

  • This guy really know very much information, and this information is about everything we can learn, since history through chemistry.

  • Why do people act as if weapons are a bad thing? If we encountered something hostile, it'd be good to be able to defend ourselves.

    Also, without war, we probably wouldn't have even made it to the moon yet.

  • We won't make it if Obama wins again

  • @frusciantenc

    LOL we didn't make it when Bush got elected....

  • We will never reach type 1 Civilization with people like @Kassutsu...... If those people don't change there no future to our Civilization lolz...........

  • @TheRalf4321 You didnt even scratch my presence.

  • @kassutsu and thats why we cant move on to the next stage.

  • @YukonCornelius1776 Don't argue with a physicist. 

  • I found this as fucking bullshit.

  • @Kassutsu I agree with AZNKENNY123 with people like you there no future. and i'm sorry if i'm being nasty and bad but with brain and people like you there no future to our civilization. People like are shit to this world sorry but and just saying what are think of that comment you made. make a change and you will see what happen lolz life will be 10 times better to you......... change how you act lolz.......

  • @Kassutsu Idiot.

  • lol i feel ashamed to be part of the type zero civilization. Terrorists are messing it up for everyone -_-

  • this video actually removed some of my fears about the rapid growth of technology lol, if we were to go back in time just 20 or 30 years, people from back then would think that we are from hundreds of years in the future, its all happening very rapidly. i just hope that we dont go too far ahead of ourselves and destroy ourselves .....

  • Jesus. Love.

  • This man is ridiculous. We all know that god put of here and we are the only ones.

  • @Theemersonday

    you are a waste of oxygen

  • @RotationalGlobe I have a RIGHT to express my opinion and you sir cant say shit to me! you are the one who should not bebreathing my oxygen

  • @Theemersonday go read the bible and stop posting

  • @Theemersonday no it was the good atmosphere, the meteor that bring water and that's how life started, we are not alone, stop being egocentric...

  • @Theemersonday I really feel bad for you believing in something such as that. I understand using a religion as a base for how you act in the world, and your own morals... But to deny things of such fact and with such massive amounts of evidence is ridiculous. And before you whine that I am "an atheist religion hat0rz", I am christian as well... Just some food for thought.

  • Optimist...

  • I wonder when people move to space, will we repeat wars in space .. like who has this territory and stuff like that ..

  • anyone with HALF a brain can figure out that eventually there will be a world government. hunter gather ---> villages ---> cities ---> states ---> countries ---> unions ---> WTF YOU THINK COMES AFTER UNION YOU MORANS?????

  • @roninpainbringer Civilisations ... 

  • @roninpainbringer HERPITY DERP MORANS

  • Never expected such a smart man say such ridiculous things. Just my opinion.

  • WTF

  • who cares about gold we need a resource based economy

  • the mayans and other ancient cultures did not make the transition.

  • But how does he know these civilizations exist in the first place?

  • @Sqvusz Because there are millions of stars just in the milky way galaxy. and 10s of millions of planets orbiting those stars. and there are millions of galaxies outside our own. so if the chances that for each planet, 1 in a million of those planets sustained life, there would be over a million planets in the universe sustaining life. that's pretty good odds considering life is just a chemical compound capable of repeating itself.

  • @Sqvusz because there is so many planets in the known universe, that even if only .000000001% of planets in the universe contained life on it, that would be millions of planets that contain life.

    It could be wrong... But with odds like that... And the thought of us being alone in the Universe... It's almost impossible.

  • in my opinion we already are type 1 at least and have been before. "the elites" wiped out the earlier version because we would not obey them, or maybe it was a 12 monkeys scenario. subsequent civilizations buried the truth to save resources, like granma ethel forever thinking it's still the depression. they also buried knowledge perhaps convinced it would happen again. just a thought.

  • seems unintelligent to consume even more as you "evolve", doesn't it?

  • what is being said her means that in order to reach a type 1 civilization we need to unite and stop fucking around! if we don't reach a type 1 civilization we will eventually destroy our self. and that is why those that does not want to unite can be called terrorists. Local culture should not disappear but if you don't want to let go of some things you will not get forward. this is the ugly truth. Sadly there are systems threatening to stop evolution like DRD, SOPA and Protect IP

  • @Johnny2589647 agreed, but the American goverment need to be wiped out, together with Islam!

  • @OSORIOO We will wipe ourselves out... it is inevitable. We are on the fast track to the fate of Rome.

    They do not need to be wiped up... they just need a massive change.

  • the european union is a fail and it always was a con

    we need a resource based economy not a money system that allows ppl to starve

  • @VEGAN0011 Like America is any better, get the fuck outta here, you make war here and there, you have the biggest financial dept, you fucking Americans just make a mess of our home planet!

  • @OSORIOO lol you just failed , i do not start wars and i am not in america lol

  • @VEGAN0011 ok i'm wrong then, no big deal

  • @VEGAN0011 Gold is always a solid choice.

    

  • @VEGAN001 Problem is that gold is not reproducible, obviously. Would have to find alternatives for new people that come into the world.

  • I disagree on his idea that those people who resist a monochromatic global culture are terrorists. In fact, it's alarming how cultures with unique facets are being annexed under the umbrella of Western culture.

  • "Control the faith"

    This is in support of the NWO like Slashdot said. This transition is not a good thing.....

  • Comment removed

  • the terrorists?

  • The metric system/ SIU is a type 1 measurment system.

  • the big disappointment is not developing space ships that can travel to Mars, Europa quickly let people explore and then take off home to Earth...like Star Wars craft...Europas oceans are 60 miles deep...maybe there are fish there because it has Oxygen..the surface is -250F which is cold...the underneath might have liquid water from friction..and it has lakes too...the ice is 1000 foot thick though...

  • We're going to destroy ourselves. That simple

  • so if you dont believe in a one world government your a terrorist

  • @TheKurtChaney Exactly. This guy is feeding truth with falsehood. Bastard. Such an intelligent man, such little morality.

  • @buru44 He never mentioned a one world government. He talked about unions of countries within separate continents, such as the European union etc. I Would totally agree in saying that a one world government is a bad thing though.

  • @cod4ownsup ...one world meaning people become your extended family...Germans, Mexicans, Africans, Mongolians etc...you become a worldly person...you share Ipods and you share wine and knowledge...

  • This guy is awesome

  • I don't think we are even a type 0 civilization.we live on this planet for thousands of years and we cud live for millions if we care and don't destroy this planet called HOME.

  • @elvievolution humans destroying the planet is a pretty arrogant claim, stop being dumb, you give us too much credit

  • @elvievolution The Kardeshev scale (the scale referred to in this video of civilization ranking) is governed by energy usage. You cannot use negative energy, therefore you cannot be under a type 0 civilization. 0 is the base. We are a 0.72 civilization, maybe 100-200 years off of type 1. Millions of years in the future people would be off of this rock, your pretending like Earth will be our home forever.

  • It seems we are indeed witnessing the first steps towards type one civ.. All that is happening in EU atm points towards that.. And that is good, imho, I hope we see the abolishment of nation-states in our lifetimes! With a single global government body which will handle common issues, like protection, science etc and a global market on one hand, and a bunch of decentralized regions/cities/small states to handle local affairs on the other..

  • i wish am still alive at type 3 civilization..gonna make a galaxy wars xDD

  • Comment removed

  • "the generation now alive, and our grandchildren, are the most important generations ever to walk the surface of the earth"

    well then I guess we're totally fucked then huh

  • I need to be friends with this guy, he knows too much

  • look, imagine being able to have the ability of time travel in your hands!...imagine eternal life....no wrinkles....imagine being able to quantumly visit other Galaxies..bubble temperature protective bubbles that are oxygenated....visit worlds where Sharks are 100 ft. long...where Giraffes fly....we need to think....

  • World war 4 will be between species of cockroaches.

  • It's disappointing to see Kaku spouting all this disinfo. Mankind will be a "type 1 civilisation" "in about 100 years"?? Either that or he's very naive.

    Type 1 Civilisation.

    "Weather control" - Well HAARP is already doing that.

    "Underground Bases" - It wouldn't be that difficult to look around the internet for infomation about "secret" underground facilities.

    100 years Michio? How about now?

  • @razalin we are only type 0.72

  • @razalin Just because we have the technology, deosn''t mean we are mature enough as a whole to use it. As a species, the human race is, intellectually retarded, but as individuals, we are pretty descent. Are countries still compete against each other for wealth and power, instead of coming together and sharing that wealth and power. That's a type 1 civilization, a tolerant, and global civilization. Until we start to see ourselves as citizens of Earth and not the US, etc, we will still be 0.

  • @razalin We can't control earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and hurricanes. We are not even close to being a type 1, we still depend on dead plants for our energy(fossil fuels, oil, and coal). Frankly, one hundred years is a bit too optimistic for me. Maybe in one to two hundred years.

  • @samysasy419 Well man from 2012 to 2108 is a lot of years.... Who knows maybe just maybe we can reach type 1, all that fuel we use is not forever it may finish in less than 70 year. every day there more cars oil type machines on the market Lolz..........

  • In 100 years na that's 2 long After watching transcendent man I think we will a type 1 civilization in 20 years

  • Welcome to the New world Order ;)

  • @SlashDotDash121 I'm glad someone Else noticed...I believed this video at first, but notice how he emphasizes the words tollerance, Multi-cultural fabric, International Terrorism....I find it hard to trust anyone with facts like these who donesnt believe our own western governments are the terrorists. He sounds like a puppet promoting 2012 end of world theories and moving us quickly towards a new world order because It's for our benefit? And not for a one world government with complete control!

  • @c02pistolman You obviously didn't understand him.

  • @c02pistolman He's just a Theorist lol.. He has interesting ideas

  • @SlashDotDash121 Words of advice. Stop listen to Alex Jones websites. You sound like a moron.

  • I suppose it's a bit odd that just this video actually gave my life a purpose again. We need to start working towards a Type 1 civilization. This is my new goal. Hopefully it's others' as well.

  • @lithtrina Supporting a resource based economy is a start.

  • We will never make it to a Type 1 civilization. 

  • @JayGatsbyOdysseus Agreed. We have propably killed our selves by then.

  • i dont believe in communism nor democracy, I believe in results. sir....I fI know how to build a condo...I use a plus b///...I don't use a plus z....

  • that comparison with the movie 2001 just blew my fuckin mind !!

  • The only thing wich can stop a type 2 civilization is Chuck Norris.

  • I am amazed to see the comments on this video *aren't* worthless!

  • By the way Michio is not advocating THE NEW WORLD ORDER per say, because the new world order is just one particular ideo of global unification under one banner. The people behind that particular concept maybe fallible and driven by the wrong ideals. However that may turn out to be an necessary evil on the path to global unification.

  • Our ever increasing population which is due to underaware human beings haveing more than 2 kids cause daunting problems. The georgia guidstones suggests an optimal number of 500 million human beings. This was roughly the size of europe about 5-8 centuries ago. It's hard enough living in this world right now with 8 billion let alone 16-20 billion 35 years from now. It is plain to see we are on a spiral course to destruction while woman keep squirting out ever more little future consumers

  • Because since our inception our numbers have done nothing but increase. (sure we had times where numbers fell due to plagues etc but the numbers have aggregately increased) to the point where we are not at 8 billion. By 2050 the WHO predicts the population will double. this is due to the fallibility of human beings (stupidity) our biggest hurdle is to reach awareness of an acceptable size of our population like all other life forms...

  • Human's Aren't quite sure what an ideal population size is. So for example, other animal or insect populations, while varying to some degree here and there throughout their respective histories, remain relatively unchanging. They harmonize with their surroundings. This affords them a simple luxery that humans so desperatly crave...predictability.

    The animals get used to life. they master it because of the harmony and stability of their existance. Humans cannot get used to our existence...

  • I doubt that even the smartest of our people are on track to any sort of real evolution. The only technology we seem to improve any more are screens and death-machines. If the elite are so eminent, why don't their superior values resonate with the masses? Why don't they strive to educate and empower their peopl, and be at the forefront of of a powerful surge? They're just vampires, and they perpetuate this transcendent purpose garbage to try and maintain the illusion of being exhalted and worthy

  • 3 years and he's on point. 2:01

  • fuck this guy... nwo puppet bitch. god damn right i'm a "terrorist"

  • only thing standing in the way of us and >type 1 civilizations are extremists and patriotic jingoists screaming "Commies!" and "Socialists!".

  • we need to stop believing that we are individuals only when we realize that humanity is one single being will we be able to achieve such a civilization. In our current society we will only continue to try to profit which is ultimately destructive to ourselves.

  • amen. i bet this guy gets much pussy

  • A type chinese civilization.

  • Oil doesn't come from plants WTF i cant believe he said that. This guy isnt smart cause he is part of the Problem. Type 3 would be like the Empire.. GMAB wow thats what we are here on this planet we are the empire of this world through deception so DR bone head if we go to 3 were all just going to continue the slaughter here or out there cause humans cant or wont change for the good of it's future. Welcome to "THE WELFARE/WARFARE PLANET"

  • I just recently finished his book, Physics of the Future. That book was awesome. If just a fraction of it comes true then humanity is in for a new golden age.

  • Michio Kaku = Total Bullshit (NWO) Propaganda, stay away from his retarded futurist rants and stick to his science talks. 

  • Type Zero!!! LOL. It's funny, but it's true.

  • What if the civilization is no longer bound by the limitations of physical reality?

  • @Valles923 I think that is a brilliant foundation for some interesting theory there.

  • Talks n debate r more feasible than War

    I guess it's better ,like the other comment highlighted .give n take cooperate n come out with a system , correcting n adjusting it on the way to upgrade the civilisation

  • Comment removed

  • This is all speculation, but it's very interesting and very possible

  • Only 100 years to get to Type 1? Maybe the economy, but we are looking at 500 years for the rest and we'll need some of those aliens to visit Earth and start passing out some of those great tech toys.

  • awsome shyt kaku your on one.

  • For me we are still living at the mere birth of our civilization, for the first 15,000 years or so of a civilization its about the rise. We begin with hunter gatherers and then reach the stage of a interstellar highly advanced civilization, and from the on its simply about living.

    All of history so far is merely the birth of mankind, its only the beginning we have billions upon trillons of years ahead, and if we can survived the birth with seemingly no death in sight.

  • WOW how awesome, being able to control weather, the sun, the galaxy...But is that really what the "future" is for humans?, what will all of that really do for us? would ppl be much happier in 30,000000000 years because their civilixation can control the stars...I dont think so...I think we have a much greater purpose than that and that is: being selfless, standing up for what is right, being a good person....In 30,000000000000000000 years that will not change...

  • Comment removed

  • does that means that there maybe the possibilty of a type 4 civilization which would draw it resources from and 'control' an entire universe?

  • Comment removed

  • I am glad we recognize this. It makes me feel proud of my time.

  • We won't need to the ancient aliens that helped the human race advanced will come to earth on 2012 its in the mayan calendar!?

  • Type 1 underneath the grounds - Deep underground military bases.

    has type 1 to 2 objects & technologies;

    The world is lying to us all.

  • >WE ARE TYPE 1 SECRETLY at least!!

    the elite are hiding a TYPE 2 too 3 up there thanks to NASA.

  • Actually, Type 1 for us is right around the corner. It's coming in about 30 years, not 100 or more.

  • holy shit if i were in a type 3 civilization i can create my own little world filled with robots lol.

  • Fearless, your theory is great, but putting it in practice you will need to kill yourself, because you are clearly the most dumb person on the planet. No, wait, Hitler had similar ideas, so it's a toss up between the two of you as to who's the dumbest.

  • keep your bloody noses out of stellar intelligence intellectualisn which is respected amongst professors sirs...

  • it all sounds wonderful, but doesnt it feel like he's clutching at straws here??

  • we need to slow down

  • @Gump387 WE AINT FUCKING SLOTHS!!!!

  • Ah - he's talking about Daleks...

  • Obviously most of the people of earth(around 6 billion) will die during the transition. We will be doing this to stabilize the earth. However, once we eliminated all the stupid, drunk and retarded people, replaced them with 24/7 hard-working robots, we may reach type 2 civilization faster(in about 1,000 years), compared to us reaching type 1 in in about 20,000 years. Killing all the stupid and retarded people is the first step to perfection.

  • @FearlessLT ..rethink your view sir...now that NASA is phasing out to SpaceX, we can get on with realtime exploration, like the bridge on the moon, the ship on the moon, the shard on the moon, the caves of Mars, the face of Mars, the monolith on Phobos...the ocean of Europa, the volcanos of Io, the lakes of Titan...etc...

  • @johnsmdm in about 100 years they might accelerate it but right now it will be as slow as it usually is. Also, what's the point of what you are saying? What's the point in exploring these bodies you named? They have no lifeforms especially moon.. it's just a huge ball that is also covered in moon dust that damages equiptment and causes lung cancer. Mars? No life there, too cold to live. Ocean of europa? It's just a ocean-planet with no future. Vulcanos/lakes?.. good luck with life there...

  • @FearlessLT "Killing all the stupid and retarded people is the first step to perfection." Douglas Adams tried this in his 5 book of the Hitchhikers trilogy. I didn't work out so well for them

  • @kludge1977 we're not talking about Hitchhiker's trilogy, we're talking about the transition from level-0 to level-1 civilization.

  • @FearlessLT I know... but they're both fiction! :)

  • @FearlessLT ...sir ...sir...Americans will not give up drink or pot sir...you will not cook us in a pot or fire us...we will not be intimidated!....let us fight till the end...I will fight your power,...

  • @johnsmdm I'd say there might be some accidental nukes flyin`, if you know what I mean

  • @FearlessLT I understand what your saying, but that is just a fuck up thing to do man.

  • @THANATOS112220 sometimes I get really pissed that 1 out of 8 people are actually intelligent while the other 7 are either wasting their lives driking/drug abuse/etc or have poor mental skills. The main idea is that the advance in technology could've been achieved earlier, however poor humanity with no control over a person, especially how I learned in US. I moved to US when I went to grade 9. People were totally retarded, compared to EU standarts. EU may be 150% smarter but they fell to alcohol

  • @THANATOS112220 to add more, I just want to say I am not evil, but this step I said is crucial in orded for humanity to thrive. 7 billion people(6/7 dumb) on earth is too much - roughly 1 billion should do it. No alcohol. No drugs. No tobacco products. Not stupid entertainment shows. Be true to yourself and everyone around you.If the government didn't exist, there would be no countries, the whole planet wood cooperate, Globally we would solve problems and advanced at at least 350% rate.

  • @FearlessLT With no government, there will be no laws, so more crime. What your saying sounds good, but in reality it won't work b/c of the way humans behave. Killing off most people won't help human survival, it will just create a downfall to our species. Having a large number of people gives a unique gene pool, which helps offspring have an advantage over a normal offspring. Most genius have normal parents, and a normal background as well, so its not intelligent parents that have genius kids.

  • @FearlessLT Most people who are genius work hard to be that smart, just like a tennis player works hard to be number one. A few people are born with better genes like a 3 year old could have a strength of a 6 year old, or an intelligence of a 6 year old, even though their parents have normal or a little above average IQ. People who are retarded aren't stupid, but have a disorder that slow them down in certain capabilities, while they could be very smart on one specific thing.

  • @FearlessLT But if we do wipe out the stupid, retarded people, the genetics for people with.. "defects" will still live on. I don't think that there is ANY possible way to get rid of that shit.

  • @FearlessLT How is this a top rated comment? This is disgusting filth that any true ambassador of science and humanity would be totally against. It's people like you that give scientists and engineers a bad rep, this sounds almost like a religious outcry and has no place in scientific discussion.

  • @FearlessLT you'll be amongst them.

  • @FearlessLT "once we eliminated all the stupid, drunk and retarded people"

    If thats what you consider reaching type 2 civilization, you are clearly mistaken. I see nothing "civilized" about that. If you listen to more of Michio's theories you will see that it is extremely probable that the characteristics you are showing could be the exact reason why no extreterrestrial life has tried to contact us.

  • @FearlessLT Your ideas are dangerous. Have you ever heard about Hitler?

  • @tcz200 I think we're somehow related. You thought I meant you? No. I meant hitler. Jk hahah.

    Also, my ideas aren't dangerous, I'm just saying that there are way too many people that waste their life. I mean literally, do we need all those distractions & diversions that this life offers? All this entertainment crap. Why not build a world where everyone
