Iranian Scientist Claims to Have Built ‘Time Machine'
Ali Razeqi says his time machine uses "complex algorithms" to see the future.
And yet it didn't foresee him becoming the butt of jokes on the internet? :p
It's not quite Back to the Future, but a young Iranian inventor claims to have built a time machine that can predict a person's future with startling accuracy.
Ali Razeqi, who is 27 and the "managing director of Iran's Center for Strategic Inventions," claims his device will print out a report detailing an individual's future after using complex algorithms to predict his or her fate.
According to the Daily Telegraph, Razeqi told Iran's state-run Fars news agency that his device "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 says Iran has decided to keep his prophetic time machine under wraps for now out of fear that "the Chinese will steal the idea and produce it in millions overnight."
Iran's Deputy Minister of Science, Research, and Technology dismissed Razeqi's claims on Friday in an interview with Fars—a sign of just how much attention the story has received.

Looks like someone has been watching Red Dwarf too much. I think they had at least 3 stochastic AIs on that show.

It isn't a time machine if it only deals with the future. :/

so THIS is the guy that has been printing all the fortune cookie papers.

Sounds like Psychohistory... seems to me that Asimov isn't banned in Iran ;)

Hiding it from the Chinese of all people?

Same case with the US drones they've claimed to hack in the past years?

Verily, the God-fearing scientists of the Islamic Republic of Iran shall accelerate the coming of the Mahdi! Marg bar amrika!

The pseudo-science is why Iran off the page as soon as I read the headlines.

I wonder if it can predict the Qaher-313's next 5-8 years
-
The kicker is that you only get the results eight years after clicking 'Start', and inputting data daily.

This machine predicts that...... "In the near future, you will feel you wasted eight years of your life" :p
-
Anyone seen "Paycheck", in that movie an engineer invents a Laser Lensed mirror that can see the future, must be something along those lines in principle. Load of bollocks of course but the movie had some interesting concepts about it!

The lack of faith in this thread disturbs me.
-
your show of faith disturbs me :p

I wont force choke you for that inane comment.
For now.

Your displays at humor leave me Hun up about HLP's Punic side.
Also, this has as low the chances of working as that next gen Irani combat aircraft, I.E. none.
