Last time, we talked about a Type Y civilization under the Information Mastery Scale. Today, we will be looking at a Type Z civilization and some of its defining characteristics!
According to Sagan, a Type Z civilization is one that processes 10^31 unique bits of information. He estimated that an advanced civilization that can harness the information content of at least billions of interconnected Type Q civilizations, would qualify that civilization as a Type Z. So, a civilization of this caliber would be capable of controlling and manipulating things at the Planck length giving it absolute control over its universe! Since the entire universe for this civilization would be at its disposal to manipulate however it chooses, creation or destruction of planets, stars, black holes, galaxies, or even galaxy clusters would all just be a day’s work for this type of civilization. Moreover, all the questions about life and the universe would be known to a Type Z civilization. Nothing would be a mystery to it since every corner of its universe along with all lifeforms within it would have been mapped out. For this reason, a Type Z civilization would have expanded and colonized its entire visible universe!
