Last time, we talked about a Type M civilization under the Information Mastery Scale. Today, we will be looking at a Type N civilization and some of its defining characteristics!
According to Sagan, a Type N civilization is one that processes 10^19 unique bits of information. Given its superior information content in comparison to a Type M, a Type N wouldn’t just be able to terraform only rotating planets, but also be able to deal with planets that are tidally locked to their parent stars. Its technology would be so superior, that it could even impart rotations on such planets if it wanted to. Moreover, because of its ability to control matter at the subatomic level, a civilization such as this would have complete control over all aspects of any given planet in its galaxy. For example, it would even have control over electrical and magnetic fields of any planet it comes across in its travels. So, technically, a Type N civilization could even bring back ‘dead’ planets by jump-starting their inner cores!
