Whiskaboom

A retired couple take in a reclusive young inventor who obsessively constructs a peculiar device that makes rhythmic whisking and booming noises. He says he is attempting a re-integration method to harness time, but prolonged tinkering leads to collapse and a catastrophic miswiring that seemingly chops away the third dimension, leaving the inventor flattened and parts of the house vanishing from certain viewpoints. The household struggles to tend him and to make sense of the visible, surreal consequences of his experiment as he panics over the error and repeatedly invokes Einstein as his standard of approval.
