He can easily imagine intergalactic, rapid-transit routes where "an object that plunges down a rotating black hole may re-emerge elsewhere and elsewhen-in another place and another time...

Eventually, both areas would expand, relentlessly shrinking the thickly populated temperate zones between them...
