Iranian scientist invents 'time traveling machine'

inventor Ali Razeghi of Iran claims to have invented a “time machine” capable of predicting the future of any individual with an accuracy of 98%.

 

The machine, which he has registered with Iran’s state-run Centre for Strategic Inventions, is called “The Aryayek Time Traveling Machine”, according to The Independent and The Telegraph.

 

Mr. Razeghi, 27, claims that after taking readings from the touch of an individual, the device uses complex algorithms to predict said individual’s life five to eight years into the future. The machine then produces a print out of the details.

 

“I have been working on this project for the last 10 years,” said Mr. Razeghi. “My invention easily fits into the size of a personal computer case and can predict details of the next 5-8 years of the life of its users. It will not take you into the future, it will bring the future to you.”

 

Mr. Razeghi, reported to have 179 other inventions registered under is name, is also the managing director of the Centre for Strategic Inventions.

 

He believes his machine could help the Iranian government predict military conflicts with other nations, and even foretell changes in the value of foreign currencies and oil prices.

 

“Naturally a government that can see five years into the future would be able to prepare itself for challenges that might destabilize it,” said the inventor. “As such we expect to market this invention among states as well as individuals once we reach a mass production stage.”

 

The invention, and Mr. Razeghi himself, have not gone unscathed, however. He has admitted to having been criticized by friends and family for “trying to play God”.

 

“This project is not against our religious values at all,” he said. “The Americans are trying to make this invention by spending millions of dollars on it where I have already achieved it by a fraction of the cost. The reason that we are not launching our prototype at this stage is that the Chinese will steal the idea and produce it in millions overnight.”

 

Iran has been eager to prove its technological prowess to the rest of the world. Their government, however, has recently received several criticisms – first, for claims that it had sent a monkey into space when pictures clearly showed a different animal, and secondly for their alleged fake photographs of a new jet fighter soaring over mountains. — TJD, GMA News
