A Kardashev 2 to 3 civilization. Unless we're missing something big, the way to test it will involve light-year-sized particle accelerators.

- brabel 3y agoI am not sure about that. Observing astronomical events like black hole collisions, for example, which perhaps amplify quantum mechanics effects to phenomena we may be able to observe one day, even from light-years away... may be one way around this... Or creative ways of using large masses, like planets and even stars, to make measurements of tiny things - similar to how Earth-size telescopes can be approximated by much smaller ones, spread over a large area.
