They produce an explicit compact complex threefold and then using explicit computations show its a simply connected homology 6 sphere and therefore the 6 sphere. But as you can imagine there is plenty of room for mistakes, I would be amazed if it turned out to be correct.

it's good that you see it this way, Hinton himself has a different opinion. He humbly stated that the prize is important because it gives him credibility, and shows that Chomsky's school of linguistics is wrong and worthless. Because we know having a Nobel prize in physics makes you an authority, especially in linguistics and neuroscience.
As if there wasn't enough embarassment in this already.
