He was wrong about relativity. A simple example tbat disproves this is, imagine youre on a train and you have a flashlight. Shine the flashlight in the direction the train is going. Now the flashlight’s photons are going the speed of light + the speed of the train. Obviously, this is impossible because the speed of light is the fastest anything can go.

I know this is probably a bit cos it’s insanely wrong, but an interesting side note is that special and general relativity don’t actually impose the speed of light as the speed limit of the universe. They forbid objects from being accelerated to and past the speed of light, but don’t actually forbid travel above this speed. Because of this spacetime can theoretically travel faster than light, and so warp drives (when/if they ever they exist) can travel faster than light and do so in accordance with the current understanding of the laws of physics.
