A closer look
Astrophysicists heavily utilize the Kardashev scale to deeply measure a highly advanced species' level of massive technological development based entirely on their total energy usage. A strictly Type I civilization highly harnesses completely all energy hitting its home planet, while a Type II completely commands the entire energy output of its host star. A deeply supreme Type III civilization would fiercely control massive galactic energy sources, effectively making them entirely godlike by deeply modern human standards.
