The point is to travel dimensionally, to alternate universes. The egg (a type of sensory deprivation chamber supposedly created by some Berkley physicists tripping on acid in the 60s who then went missing.) lets you do it via a series of meditative rituals.
Eggless travel would allow dimensional travel just by thinking the rituals.
Eggless travel is surely a reference to Ong's hat and the diamensional egg.
I didn't know about that, that's cool. But I hardly think the ability to travel without the use of a dimensional egg is noteworthy.
