The “Aryayek Time Travelling Machine” has been registered by the inventor, Ali Razeqi, with Iran’s Centre for Strategic Inventions.
Razeqi claims the device takes readings from an individual’s touch, whereafter it can produce predictions for the coming five-to-eight years of the subject’s life through a chain of complex algorithms.
He alleges the machine achieves 98 per cent accuracy.
“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,” Razeqi told the Fars News Agency.
“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,” he explained.
The 27-year-old is also the managing director of the centre, and has registered 179 inventions under his name.
Razeqi’s claims have been met with annoyance by the country’s deputy minister of science, research and technology, Mohammad Mehdinejad Nouri, who told the Fars News Agency that no time machine had been officially registered, adding scientific claims must undergo verification prior to confirmation.
“Making scientific claims is free for all, but registration of these claims as inventions should undergo certain legal stages based on scientific proofs and evidence," Mehdinejad Nouri said.
As to the machine having been officially registered, Mehdinejad Nouri denied the claim.
“Such a claim has not been registered in Iran's State Organization for Registration of Deeds and Properties,” he insisted.
