Exclusive Gist: Iranian scientist builds time-traveling machine

An Iranian scientist has registered a time machine
that he says will work with 98 percent accuracy.
Ali Razeghi registered “The Aryayek Time
Traveling Machine” with Iran’s state-run Centre for
Strategic Inventions, The Telegraph reports.
He said the machine would use algorithms to
predict the future of any individual, between five
and eight years into their future.
Mr Razeghi, 27, reportedly told Fars news agency
he had been working on the project for the past 10
years.
“My invention easily fits into the size of a personal
computer case and can predict details of the next
five-eight years of the life of its users. It will not
take you into the future, it will bring the future to
you,” he said.
The Telegraph reports Mr Razeghi is the managing
director of Iran’s Centre for Strategic Inventions,
and that he has another 179 inventions registered
in his name.
He said the invention could help the government in
predicting military conflict, but he had been
criticised for trying to play God.
“This project is not against our religious values at
all. 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,” he said.
“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.”
