I knew a brilliant, experienced, standard, agnostic, peerreviewed physicist
and sucessful businessman that studied takions: particles with
superluminical speeds, and the possibility of time travel using them. He
was cheated and robbed by a sect of almost analphabet freaks that easily
convinced him that they were  aliens teletransported to the Earth using the
technology that he envisioned. That  is not an invention.
