BASEMENT UNIVERSE: A small artificially created universe linked to the old universe by a wormhole. This could then be used for living space, computing
or as an escape from a decaying universe. "Baby Universes" has been postulated by some theories about black holes (see This Week's Finds in
Mathematical Physics (Week 31) by John Baez) and inflation cosmology. orgin:

Kardashev scale
Type I: Controls the energy of an entire planet. This civilization can control the weather, can prevent earthquakes, and boasts mastery of an energy
factor of about 10^16 watts. Though advanced, a Type I civilization still faces danger of extinction by natural disasters such as comet impacts.
Type II: Controls the energy of an entire star. It has the ability to directly mine a star. This civilization will have explored completely its own
star system and will have established a number of colonies in neighboring star systems. The energy factor mastered by a Type II civilization is about
10^26 watts, or a 10 billion-fold increase over that controlled by Type I. A Type II civilization is virtually immune to extinction.
Type III: Controls the energy of an entire galaxy. Such a civilization can manipulate space-time and possesses almost godlike powers. It would be
threatened with extinction only by the death of the universe itself (and even this might be avoided). Energy mastery for a Type III civilization marks
another 10 billion-fold increase, to a level of 10^36 watts.
