Mike perhaps you will recall my notion of creating an interstellar “spacecraft” of sorts by using a Matriosha Brain which redirects most of the emitted energy from a star in one direction, thus gently accelerating the star in the other direction.  I can reiterate the whole wacky scheme if you wish, but it is hard sci-fi: all of it works out and can be shown with equations.

 

It is slow: it takes about 15 million years to haul our star to the distance of what is currently the nearest neighboring star.  But hey, we can go about our regular business while we are in transit.
