30 December 2017 - Heisenberg travel

By the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the more precisely you know your momentum, the less well you know your position. This suggests a simple method of space travel: Measure your momentum with extreme precision, and when you look up from the surging throng of digits on your display and kick back your chair, you might find yourself pretty much anywhere in the universe. Of course the method is not suitable for round trips, but it should be perfect for adventurers and other escapees.
