Humans at level 0?

Question

I've just found out that as humans, where at level 0 at controlling anything. While other lifeforms (if there are any) can possibly control their planet, star, or even a galaxy. Is this true?

Answer 1

probobly not.

Answer 2

Since we cannot absolutely verify other sapient lifeforms, there is no way to know about them.  

We can not change the direction of any celestial body or group of bodies.

Answer 3

Since you seem to be assuming the existence of alien life, which is a guess at best, I suppose you can go ahead and give them any powers you'd like.

They are you fantasy, give them all the control you want.

In the real world, meanwhile, humans control what we control, and anything beyond that is the subject of science fiction.  I'm not sure what you mean by 'control' a planet.  Do you mean control it's movements?  Well, now you're into fantasy, or at least an unimaginably large exertion of force from some source.  Newtonian physics alone makes that insanely unlikely and impractical.  Yes, I suppose it would be physically possible, but how such force could be created and managed isagain, the subject of fiction and fantasy.

Answer 4

Level zero on what scale?  To control the way you describe the laws of physics have to me manipulated.  This is the reason for experiments with sub-atomic particles.  Eventually these experiments might lead to the abilities you describe.

Answer 5

wait, when did we get upgraded?  I thought the Intergalactic Council had us at 0.5.

Answer 6

I believe you are referring to type 0, 1, 2, and 3 civilizations.  Whilst it may seem like science fiction, they aren't referring to being able to move our planet to the same orbit as mars in a type one civilization.

We do seed clouds to try and cause rain (this is control, after all).  I'm trying to think .... is it Greenland that uses thermal heat from the earth for power?  There are proposals to send spacecraft aloft with large (*very* large) solar arrays to produce enormous power and send it to earth in highly focused microwave beams where it would be converted to useful power.  These are the beginnings of a type one civilization.  It is believed that we will have achieved type one status within the next one hundred years.  Assuming we don't destroy ourselves first.

Planatary control (such as control of clouds, hurricanes, etc.) defines the type one civilization.

Type two can control stars.  Your guess as to what that may involve is a good as mine.

Type three controls galaxies.  Open guess here ....

You may have seen the Japanese scientists are attempting to form a new universe.  I'm not kidding and I wish I had the URL.  They are attempting to bombard a magnetic monopole (now where they get that, I have no idea) and cause a sub-microscopic black hole to form, pinch off from our universe, and allow inflation to take over and form another universe.  From what I read, they will have to read information as to how the black hole disappears to figure out if they had success in creating a universe.

Technology and science are evolving at an exponential rate.  Who, back in the 1800s, could have fathomed jet planes traveling at twice the speed of sound - let alone rockets that could escape our solar system!

There are a couple of thoughts as to extra-terrestrial intelligence.  One is that we, next to them, are as interesting as ants are to most of us.

The other is that civilizations tend to destroy themselves before they reach advanced stages (such as two or three).  If most, or all, destroy themselves at around the stage we are at, they will have produced evidence of themselves for only a hundred years or so.  The chances of spotting them are fairly slight as their radiation has to be hitting us exactly now (meaning they are between zero and 100 light-years distant).

I suspect religion plays a large role in such events.  A good friend of mine does not like Catholics.  He, of course, is a Christian.  Then there are Muslims (of various flavors as there are Christian and Jewish).  Oh yes, the Jewish.  And many other religions in the world (many with many more adherents that Chrisianity).

We are either going to learn to live together or we shall surely die together.

Best regards,

Jim

I can not possibly know if it is true or not; I've never heard of anything like it.  But I'm very interested in who or what was/is  your source
