A type 5 civilization often seen as unattainable is actually quite possible. We could have computers to use a developer mode to solve all sorts of problems like the entropy of the universe and even stop the entropy of the earth or stop meteorites from hitting earth with a computer click. This could easily be attainable with technological singularities leading to a new understanding of our universe but should be considered to essentially stop almost any problem to earth and beyond.

Type 1 civilization designation on the Kardashev scale may be possible in the next 100 years, which could influence the survival of mankind.

Texas A&M University’s board of regents voted to approve the construction of a new institute in Houston that hopes to contribute to maintaining the state’s leadership within the aerospace sector.

This week, the Texas A&M Space Institute got the greenlight for its $200 million plan. The announcement follows a $350 million investment from the Texas Legislature. The institute is planned to be constructed next to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.

“The Texas A&M Space Institute will make sure the state expands its role as a leader in the new space economy,” John Sharp, chancellor of the Texas A&M System, says in a news release. “No university is better equipped for aeronautics and space projects than Texas A&M.”

The universe is not static or silent, as is commonly believed. It moves, expands and… vibrates. And this is where gravitational waves play an important role: tiny ripples in the fabric of space and time that occur when massive objects accelerate or collide.

Gravitational waves are generally very difficult to detect because they are usually very short and weak, and get lost in the background noise of the universe.

For this reason, until now only some of them have been captured with very sensitive instruments such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), which measures the distortions caused by the waves in two laser light beams separated by kilometers.
