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."
Razeghi says Iran's government can predict the possibility of a military
confrontation with a foreign country, and forecast the fluctuation in the
value of foreign currencies and oil prices by using his new invention.
