Would be interesting if some reaction-less drive would come online

According to that article,
“The underlying problem [with reactionless drives] is that breaking the law of conservation of momentum shatters the entire mathematical framework [of physics].” These devices by their very nature violate the law of conservation of momentum

Let’s propose a reactionless drive that does not break conservation of momentum. All we need to do is to find a way to make weakly-interacting particles interact a little more strongly, and then find, among them, a favoured direction.
