Type P | Information Mastery

Previously, we talked about a Type O civilization under the Information Mastery Scale. Today, we will be looking at a Type P civilization and some of its defining characteristics!

According to Sagan, a Type P civilization is one that processes 10^21 unique bits of information. Given this much unique information content at its fingertips, a Type P civilization would possess knowledge and abilities that far surpass those of even a Type O. Not only would a civilization such as this be able to harness all the energy output of stars, but it would even be able to create its own stars using the available resources of its galaxy! To achieve this kind of feat, perhaps it would need to be able to move around celestial bodies, such as black holes. If it could place appropriately sized black holes within brown dwarfs or Jupiter-like planets, it could potentially cause thermonuclear reactions igniting their fires! But this is only one way to do this, perhaps a civilization that has such vast information content available to it would have far better ways of accomplishing this kind of task that would be almost incomprehensible to our civilization today!
