Safe as Milk: Iranian Scientist Invents 'Time Machine'

Beyond Iran's forays into nuclear energy (and presumably weaponry), scientists there also appear to be trying to develop new technologies that will perhaps help the nation to recreate lost glories of the past caliphates.

The UK Telegraph reports that Ali Razeghi, a Tehran scientist has registered "The Aryayek Time Traveling Machine" with the state-run Centre for Strategic Inventions.


The device can predict the future in a print out after taking readings from the touch of a user, he told the Fars state newsagency.

Razaeghi, 27, said the device worked by a set of complex algorithims to "predict five to eight years of the future life of any individual, with 98 percent accuracy".

As the managing director of Iran's Centre for Strategic Inventions, Razeghi is a serial inventor with 179 other inventions listed under his own name. "I have been working on this project for the last 10 years," he said.

"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."

And, talking about safe bets, Razaeghi claims "Iran's government can predict the possibility of a military confrontation with a foreign country," or, more prosaicly, "forecast the fluctuation in the value of foreign currencies and oil prices by using his new invention."
