Scientists say how the dramatic influence of human activity on our planet is pushing Earth into a state of ‘hybridization’ before our world eventually shifts into an entirely new planetary class.

For decades, astronomers have imagined the existence of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations, and even classified them according to the amount of energy that their inhabitants could conceivably seize and utilize.

Said alien worlds—hypothetical in nature—were eventually classified into three types according to a scheme described in 1964 by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev.

A Type 1 civilization has the ability to manipulate all the energy resources of its home planet (a distant goal yet for our civilization) and a Type 2 all energy in its star/planet system.

A super advanced Type 3 civilization would use the energy of its entire galaxy.

The Kardashev scale has become a sort of gold standard for the classification of possible civilizations elsewhere in the cosmos, and how advanced they may have become through time.

But that’s not what we are writing about at the moment.
A team of scientists, featuring scientists from the University of Washington has devised a new classification system for the evolutionary stages of worlds based on “non-equilibrium thermodynamics” – a planet’s energy flow being out of synch, as the presence of life could cause.
