Why bother with aliens? How about we use black holes for this purpose? Let’s be the advanced civilization that makes it happen.

Bonus points for not getting our solar system crushed into a singularity.

Saying “advanced aliens could do this” is basically just a science “gotcha” headline to get people to publicize their article about how we could eventually do this.

if you wrote a paper that said that humans could do this in the future it would be just as accurate but probably wouldn’t show up in a social feed.
