That's actually a rather common science fiction conceptualization of 
hyperspace. That's why it's called hyperspace, after all.

And lots of stuff travels faster than light. Just not very far. Once you 
get more than a few wavelengths along, all the faster-than-light and 
slower-than-light amplitudes (aka, probabilities) cancel each other out.

I didn't get that from the article.  On the other hand, QED is pretty 
well established, so I'm not sure what "controversial theory" they could 
be addressing, other than stuff that would address the "why" of it 
rather than the "what" of it.

     It's not feature creep if you put it
     at the end and adjust the release date.
