For some reason the 'article' mentions compressing space and time multiple times. Does it really though? Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I can't imagine large centrifugal forces inducing any relativistic effects.

    Only if it goes at a statistically significant % of the speed of light, I think. Artificial "gravity" it creates should not have any relativistic effects, AFAIK. These only show up at proximity to large masses (real gravity).
