The redorbit.com blog is misunderstanding the science — as I'm reading the NASA PR, it's just talking about magnetic channels or conduits, that direct charged particles along a path. If the channel keeps the particles from colliding and losing energy, they may travel faster than usual. It still takes at least eight minutes to get to Earth from the Sun at light speed, though. There is nothing in a magnetic field that can act like a space-time wormhole. So, no time travel or warp drive here, and no gravity tie-in.
Now forget I wrote that, because it makes no difference to the great story you're writing! It's pretty clear some time-travel is imminent for Lois. She has to get back to be in the photo!
