Just finished the video. What he's basically saying that he things he's found a simpler way to discuss physical processes that has space time naturally fall out of it which is motivated by the fact that physics breaks down at small enough scales.
I don't think he gave enough information to know whether what he says helps progress physics just that it exists.

- cschmid 4y agoIt's a popular science talk, not a presentation of a specific research result. The re-interpretation of scattering amplitudes in terms of novel mathematical structures is almost its own subfield of theoretical particle physics. Most of the specific results he mentioned are described in this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1312.2007 https://arxiv.org/abs/1312.2007
