The internal crisis can end the story of the civilization before it reaches the first step in the Kardashev scale.




The nation is before civilization. And for reaching Kardashev scale 1. The civilization requires all the resources that it can get. That it can create structures that make it possible to benefit its planet's energy. 

The first three steps in the Kardashev scale are the most difficult.  Even if we think that megastructures like solar rings are humble we compare them to Dyson's spheres that cover entire solar systems. But those first-scale or first-step structures require lots of resources for the small-scale civilization. Making energy rings and other things is necessary for civilization. That it can start to control their planet's energy. In the Kardashev scale 1. 


There is one notable thing in the Kadashev scale. Each level requires the previous level. But each level in those scales forms the next level automatically. 


So civilization requires a Kardashev scale of 1. That it can reach Kardashev scale 2. In that version, the civilization starts to control the energy of their central star. And they also control the solar systems.  In Kardashev Scale 1 the artificial solar ring can surround the civilization's home planet. That ring would be in the Van Allen belt. It can harvest energy also from the plasma that orbits the planet. 

That species can put that ring rotate very fast. And that thing can used as a space sling. The solar ring can pull merchandise to the orbital using space hooks. Or there could be space elevators connected to the many points. 




The first steps are the hardest, and to make Dyson's spheres, the civilization needs to colonize the entire solar system. It's possible. That civilization will not make Dyson's spheres even if it has the technology for that purpose. 

In some models, the civilization makes "mini spheres" that are red dwarf-size systems. That they can use to make artificial stars. Those mini spheres will make stars by pressing plasma by using annihilation and extremely powerful magnetic fields. 

Artificial stars can make large areas habitable. Dyson's spheres can make it possible to control the central stars. But before Dyson's spheres, the civilization must conquer their solar system.


"Energy consumption in three types of civilization as defined by Sagan's extended Kardashev scale" (Wikipedia, Kardashev Scale)


Things like non-controlled urbanization and non-controlled population growth can cause a crisis that destroys civilization.  


Civilization may start to control the population. But anyway, colonization of the entire solar system requires lots of people. And if the civilization wants to colonize the entire solar system. It requires an enormous group of people. And if it steps to that route, there is no return. There is so big population that there is no way to bring them all to the home. 

Sometimes researchers say that before civilization can reach the Kardashev scale, civilization must pass the ultimate test. That test is how to solve internal problems. One of the internal problems is overpopulation. If there is no room for members of the civilization, that thing can cause destruction. When we think about things, like urbanization, the problem is how to get food for the population. Overpopulation and urbanization cause situations where people cannot get enough eat. And that thing turns cities into violence. 

When civilizations or nations must handle internal problems, they don't have time to develop the technology that is needed to colonize their solar system. And that can cause death. Things like loss of nutrients can form in the cases, where nobody controls the growth of cities. In non-controlled city growth, pollution can destroy large plantation areas.

Researchers created fully functioning mini brains using bioprinters.

  "Currently, the global annual cost of treating brain diseases amounts to €3 trillion. (Image: Mostphotos)" (University of Helsinki, Development of human-derived mini-brain close to completion - A new technical solution promotes the treatment of brain diseases) When we think that AI cannot reach the same intelligence level as humans, we talk about binary-computer system-based AI. That AI is a very passive thing. But biological microchips where living neurons communicate with microprocessors are different things. Those systems are in mini-brains. Or cloned neurons that developed for medical testing. Those mini brains involve living neurons that interact similarly, to neurons in the human body.  "Scientists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (UWM) say they have created the first 3D-printed brain organoids that function like natural brain tissue." (FreeThink, Scientists create the first “functional” 3D-printed mini brains) “The neurons communicate, send signals, i

Researchers found a "pause" button that can stop the human embryo advance.

Researchers found a "pause" button that can stop the human embryo advance. And that thing can have many solutions. In the case of a mother's illness or injury, the medical team can save the embryo's life by stopping its advance. But that ability can make things like interstellar travel possible.  It's one theoretically, a very easy, way to transfer people to the other solar system if we don't want to get them back. The mission controllers can use the human embryos for the other solar system. Those colonists can have the robot controllers, and they can have the training material for the mission. That thing might not yet be possible. Because of our culture and moralistic-ethical thinking. Of course, technology sets limits to that kind of project.  "Research indicates that humans might harness a dormant diapause-like capability to optimize reproductive health and IVF success.

Wormholes and fundamental avionics.

Image
Thoughts about wormholes and hypothetical engines.  Acoustic and electromagnetic systems can create acoustic or electromagnetic channels through air or water. The system can create an acoustic beam or laser beam, that pushes air molecules out of the aircraft's way. That makes the air thinner. And that allows the aircraft to move faster than usual.  An interesting way to raise objects silently up from the ground is to use the tornado that formed above the craft. There is a hatch under the craft and then the system creates an artificial tornado above the craft. Then the craft closes the hatch, and the tornado above the craft pulls it up. The system requires a hatch that can feed rising tornado using air.  The hatch allows it to rise that tornado high enough, that it can pull objects up. The hatch can also used for the acoustic tractor beam. The acoustic tractor beam is the tornado that pulls objects up from the ground. The horizontal tornado makes the craft move faster or it removes
