A childhood belief about physics

My sister has an excellent design for a spaceship.

First take a house and tip milk all over it (milk is actually an excellent form of glue), then find out exactly how fast the house is moving, from Heisenburg's Uncertainty Principle, it now follows that the house could be anywhere in the universe.

Note: The reason you have to first tip milk all over the house, is to glue the house up and stop yourself from suffocating if you end up in deep space, rather than on some inhabitable planet.
