"Homeless person asks me to help them build a time machine" is almost as sad of a short story as "babyshoes for sell. Never worn."
He kept asking the shelter kitchen staff when I'd be in the cafeteria for lunch so he could pitch Me on his time UFO idea. He believed that two disks rotating in opposite directions would create infinite energy and unlock time travel.
And I told him that it's not a UFO if you've identified it, it's a flying saucer. And I don't think the scientific principle at play is valid. He told Me to watch a conspiracy documentary that proves it is valid.
