**CCitizen** , while the rules of the board don’t specifically prohibit posting a link to your blog or the like, we are here to promote discussion. Starting a thread linking to your own video without providing context and then repeatedly referring people to that external source doesn’t accomplish that. If you actually want to have a discussion here, I’d highly suggest summarizing information from the video that you think is relevant, rather than simply trying to drive traffic to your link. Otherwise, the thread may be closed. ---

Otherwise, the thread may be closed. I apologize. On Earth forums we are not allowed to use a forum as own own blog. Basically very fast communication to different planets and galaxies is possible via primordial black holes weighing 10^18 kg. We can not travel via these wormholes but we can send messaged. ---
