**Moving Earth out of orbit Help understanding quantum cat states and artificial atoms** Theoretically, you can move Earth out of its orbit using a very powerful Infinite Improbability drive. The Infinite Improbability Drive is a wonderful new method of crossing vast interstellar distances in a mere nothingth of a second, without all that tedious mucking about in hyperspace. The principle of generating small amounts of finite improbability by simply hooking the logic circuits of a Bambleweeny 57 Sub-Meson Brain to an atomic vector plotter suspended in a strong Brownian Motion producer (say a nice hot cup of tea) were of course well understood—and such generators were often used to break the ice at parties by making all the molecules in the hostess’s undergarments leap simultaneously one foot to the left, in accordance with the Theory of Indeterminacy. Many respectable physicists said that they weren’t going to stand for this—partly because it was a debasement of science, but mostly because they didn’t get invited to those sort of parties. Also, moving Earth out of its orbit may be considered unethical by some. It would, however, have provided a more happy solution to its unfortunate location _vis-à-vis_ the new hyperspace bypass. ---
