G_x0a, just in case you think that the hot air balloon can rise above the level where the atmosphere can carry it along:

The highest hot air balloon flight on record reached an altitude of 22,000 feet. This requires special equipment like oxygen and protective clothing.

Yes, a hot air balloon will generally travel with the atmosphere at 22,000 feet. Hot air balloons are essentially at the mercy of the wind and will move at the same speed and direction as the prevailing wind currents at their altitude.

Hello @Jzz , just to voice my random thoughts about the universe, and to find communication in this hobby.
Thanks for introducing the article, I will read it when I need to refer to atomic issues.

That sums it up very well, with the caveat that if you do read the paper you probably would not have so many questions to ask.

You are really awesome Jzz, I can't justify my laziness to read anymore haha.
Your atomic level suggestion really fits in the direction of being manipulable, experimental.
I will read it, thanks for sharing the knowledge.

It seems like this is the job of an astronaut to optimize the way to move with the least amount of energy. It would be efficient and has been applied, I think.
Jumping out of the frame of reference I mentioned seems like the balloon would disappear and disintegrate immediately .
