Publicity stunt yes, junk science no... I'm no scientist, but I know a few things of which this experiment consists. The only real problem with the set up is the G forces the digital time piece will be placed under. It may be that the gravitational forces exerted on the timer as it spinns may have an adverse affect on the overall experiment.

So, just curious, how do you explain the discrepancies that have been mentioned, the ones I most agree with being that time should slow down, not speed up? As for the motion being circular "cancelling itself out", I'm not sure that's necessarily accurate... by that logic, the famous anecdote of orbitting the planet a few times near the speed of light to produce the time effect should cancel itself out too. Besides, if it could "cancel itself out", that would imply that you could use the time shift to both speed up and slow down time, a positive and a negative... and that doesn't jibe with my understanding either.
