Sounds like B.S. to me. "Near lightspeed"? Relative to what? "Holy moly, that planet's repelling our spaceship! We and it must be moving 'near lightspeed'! Woah, and here I thought we were 'at rest'!"

But if he can make it work, it won't matter whether I or anyone else understands it or believes it or not, so I'm not sure why a press release is warranted. Just get it past peer review and/or build it, and the buzz will take care of itself.
