Given these vast timescales, they would have enough time to send trillions of self -
replicating robotic probes throughout the galaxy (exponentially growing like a swarm of viruses), to locate all the neighboring black holes, even traveling at sublight speed.
This will require the cooperative efforts of researchers across a wide range of disciplines: scanning
probe microscopy, supramolecular chemistry, protein engineering, self assembly,
robotics, materials science, computational chemistry, self
replicating systems, physics, computer science, and more.
