Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

I liked Harry Harrison's Bloat Drive in Bill, The Galactic Hero. You increase the space between atoms of your ship until you are larger than the universe, then reverse to normal size at your destination.
 
Specifically, that's because the Ship is sitting still, it's the bubble of space it's inside of that's actually moving.
All this stuff has been made up after the fact. They just didn't want to deal with physics so they made up* some wotds.

*As in "read in some science fiction magazines."
