As I cited in the other thread, a particle transitioning to the
superparticle state and back again seems like it ought to be a
trivial, energy-free process (barring inevitable hardware losses)
except for an odd thing; the final particle is physically displaced
from the original particle. Evidently it has no added momentum
afterward, so the process conserves momentum, just not location.

Apologies for being somewhat blunt, but none of this is true. Particles
don't transition to their superpartners.

Cite, please? Mind you I'm not disputing you, but I haven't been
able to find much other than the sort of thing on the page I cited in
the reactionless drive thread. I first saw the idea IIRC in a SciAm
article many years ago and wondered why more wasn't made of it, other
than that at the time it seemed awfully speculative for such details
to be published. It has stuck in my head all this time and I'd really
like an update.
