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 inter-dimensional travel and even time travel.
Astronomer John Barrows of the University of Sussex writes, “Suppose that we extend the classification upwards. Members of these hypothetical civilizations of Type IV, V, VI, ... and so on, would be able to manipulate the structures in the universe on larger and larger scales, encompassing groups of galaxies, clusters, and superclusters of galaxies.” Civilizations beyond Type III may have enough energy to escape our dying universe via holes in space.

Astronomers have discovered 18 planet-like objects, drifting through space in a part of the constellation of Orion. If they are planets, these "free floaters" will pose a challenge to theories about how planets form. "The formation of young, free-floating, planetary-mass objects like these are difficult to explain”, said Maria Rosa Zapatero Osorio, of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, in Tenerife, Spain.
Using visible and infrared light-detecting sensors on telescopes in Spain, the Canary Islands, and Hawaii, they found 18 objects whose relatively dim, reddish light suggested they could be planetary.

There have been unexplained explosions in galaxies, witnessed by numerous astronomers.
Five or six years ago an article in the Herald Tribune said there had been at least 80 unexplained explosions in deep space during the last decade alone! This had baffled many of the leading scientists and astronomers who were at a complete loss to explain the phenomenon! According to the article the largest of these explosions had occurred "180,000 light years away in the large Magellanic Cloud outside our galaxy"!
The article also related that, "Ray Klebesadel, a leading scientist at Los Alamos said, “This event was definitely not a supernova!" According to him the explosion was more like a nuclear bomb blast!
This was a view also echoed by a nuclear physicist Stanton T. Friedmann who declared: "Tremendous activity of this sort could well be life out there involved in a war"! Another quote is from James Oberg of Houston who is on record as saying: “It is a legitimate theory that star wars may be taking place!"

Very interesting as i love this sort of stuff, have two points/queries. So a type one civililisation is one that is truly a planetary society, which has mastered all forms of terrestrial energy. So i suppose earth doesnt fall into that category.

I don't buy that idea. Any races that has such powerful weaponry would either not fight a war at all (as in MAD) or totally wipe each other out in a very short period of time. i couldn't see them having a go at each other for thousands of years and only occasionally destroying a star system.

here i think is a good question.......
if there is no sun, where is the light coming from, that is beaming from the planets....?
Where are the planets recieving the light?
