That's according to Dr Michio Kaku. Who is he?


Pic Courtesy: Whipnet

Place of birth: United States.
Japanese American theoretical physicist, turned professor.
Co-founder of ‘string field theory’, a branch of the ‘super-string theory’.
New book to be published: Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration of the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel, (set to release January 22, 2008).
Received a Ph.D. in 1972. In 1973, he held a lectureship at Princeton University.
Presently, engaged in working on Einstein's "Theory of Everything," seeking to unify the four fundamental forces of the universe
Visiting professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, as well as at New York University.


So then, with his credentials, he couldn’t be talking through his hat when he discusses the physics of extra terrestrial civilizations!

While it is the belief by many that mainstream scientists reject any notions of extraterrestrial civilizations or aliens, Kaku is very unique. Not only does he believe in ETs, he also lays down a framework for their existence in his numerous books.

Kaku in his book Hyperspace compares humans as fish in a pond, only aware of the environment around them, not realizing there is a huge world outside the pond.


So the question most debunkers ask is that if they exist, then why don’t they announce their presence? That’s because as Carl Sagan says, “An advanced civilization millions of years old is as much beyond us as we are beyond a bush baby or a macaque.” (Carl Sagan). Would you want to communicate with a macaque?

And then our methods of communication using the electromagnetic spectrum may be vastly different to theirs. Why do we expect them to follow the same ‘scientific principles’? They could very well be using esoteric means or even telepathy as a matter of course!

Dr Kaku’s Civilization Ladder

A Type 1 Civililization is one that is truly a planetary society, which has mastered all forms of terrestrial energy.

A Type 2 civilization is a civilization who have an energy output of a small star. They would be so advanced that they could build a sphere around their planet to maximize their energy output.

A Type 3 civilization is so advanced that they have begun colonizing other star systems. Their energy output is massive compared to ours. A civilization this advanced would be able to bend space and time at will. They would probably be capable of interdimensional travel and even time travel.

So where are we here on planet Earth? Well, we are Type 0.


Probably, there’s even a Type 4 civilization, so advanced that it could be indulging in space engineering, terraforming planets by changing their orbits around their parent suns. What of the Quasars and Pulsars that we’ve discovered? Could they have something to do with this space engineering?

Cheers! We may not be alone after all!

not necessarily

bugs aren't sentient beings..

in my opinion it would be much easier for two sentient life forms to figure out some sort of communication technique then it would be for a sentient life form and and insect

You'll find this article pretty interesting I think...

blog.wired.com...

Scientists are just now starting to find inorganic "lifeforms". They can't prove that they are alive yet, but they are exhibiting "lifelike characteristics."

Well you could say that, but at the same time, we may be like bugs compared to them. We don't even know the full extent of other earthly organisms abilities to communicate with each other, let alone understand what they are communicating to each other. For all we know, some animals may have complex philosophical conversations with each other (lol). Dolphins for example are known to be extremely intelligent, but we can't understand what they say to each other, so we don't know how intelligent they are. I often hear people ignorantly say "if they are that intelligent why haven't they built underwater civilisations." Clearly physiology is also a massive factor to the use of intelligence, dolphins could possibly be more intelligent than humans, but they live underwater and are biologically adapted to do so, therefore they may well have ideas for creating things, but they do not have the required digits to create them.

Im not seriously saying that dolphins are more intelligent than us, but my point is that some organisms may have a lot of potential for development, but are hampered by their physiological and biological design, but we cannot know one way or the other. Perhaps aliens could see us in this manner. If they communicate via telepathy for example and our brains arent developed enough to be able to intepret and understand it, why would they even bother trying to communicate with us? Perhaps they don't have ears to hear or mouths to speak, and don't use any written language or body signing, if this was the case, communication would be pretty much impossible to any meaningful degree. Do we try to communicate with pigs or cows? What benefit would aliens even gain from communicating with us? Clearly if they can get to earth they are far more advanced, so we couldn't offer them anything in terms of technology or knowledge.
