I dunno. Maybe the ability to transmit atomic states? If it is possible to deliver a state to the other site of the galaxy. You would have to deal with the initial delivery time but it should be instantaneous communication there after as long as it does not collapse.

Some mathematicians have solved the mystery by developing a mathematical model that shows how one driver hitting the brakes a little too hard can cascade into a backup miles behind. The mathematicians' future research will investigate how automatic braking systems may alleviate the problem.
