What I believe the original author may be looking for is a cosmic wormhole, kinda like the kind they used in Contact.

Ironically, Carl Sagan had asked Kip Thorne how possible it was to use a black hole for rapid travel across the Cosmos for his 1985 novel Contact, and Thorne came up with the idea of wormholes instead. All you need is a rather advanced society that can crush matter to extreme depths, rip open holes in the space-time continuum, and wa-laa!

So tell me, is this for a novel, homework, or just plain curiousity?
