Well capital S as he called the "Sun Constant" is used in Thermodynamics for Entropy. Entropy is defined as a system's ability to do work.
It is key in the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
It would seem relavent in the context of space travel. The little g does not normally signify gravity, and the v^2 is probably acceleration
(represented incorrectly).
Gravity? = Entropy x Acceleration
It is interesting, because some fringe scientists are redefining a "system" to include all of the universe. In that context, we can derive "free"
energy from something without violating the laws of conservation of energy.
In essence, if you want to include the entire solar system as a static system in equilibrium, you could slingshot something the size of a 747 across
the solar system at the speed of light by utilizing stored energy in this system, while affecting the net energy of the system very little. The mass
of a 747 is so negligible in comparison to the mass of the solar system that it can be basically ignored in the calculation, in essence giving
"free" energy to the 747, and not violating any laws of physics!
Gravity? = Entropy x Acceleration
I guess (it's a reach) you could look at accelerating the system, and keeping the spaceship stable (Star Trek Tech), then the Force (gravity) would
be exerted upon the ship? I think it is more a case of someone misquoting a formula!
There is good research at Cal Tech, and there is one NASA scientist that has designed a space ship and proven his "free energy" drive motor on a
very small lab scale. It involves supercooled silicon wafers "repelling" one another and influencing gyroscopic "inertial" drives.

Your "alien" could be well-versed on these technologies, or he would just be a sci-fi junkie!!
