@SETIInstitute Still not found ONE Dyson Sphere unfortunately. Let alone a Type III civilization, in control of energy at the scale of its entire host galaxy! Who knows what the future might bring with better telescopes... RIP Mr. Kardashev!
@SETIInstitute RIP soar high and free. Thoughts and prayers goes out to his family friends and loved ones.
@SETIInstitute People (very) often mispronounce his name. Here's a Russian reporter saying his name: youtube.com/watch?v=fK_rlf…
@SETIInstitute @MasterOriVal says 7 million worlds with life of some kind in the galaxy, 2.5 million with advanced life like ourselves, half a million ahead of us. it seems that we are borderline civilized, per @SandiaWisdom . adequate food, shelter clothing and medicine for all being important
@SETIInstitute Oh no! What a shock - A great scientist.
