A Tehran-based scientist has registered “The Aryayek Time Traveling Machine” with the state-run Centre for Strategic Inventions.

Despite the name, the machine doesn’t actually allow you to travel through time, inventor Ali Razeghi says, but it does allowed you to “predict five to eight years of the future life of any individual, with 98% accuracy,” according to The Telegraph.

“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,” the paper reported him saying.

Naturally a government that can see five years into the future would be able to prepare itself for challenges that might destabilise it

Razeghi, 27, isn’t just any inventor. He’s actually the managing directory of the Centre for Strategic Inventions, which is ostensibly run by the Iranian government.

Razeghi was quick to point out the military applications of this technology, saying that the Islamic Republic could predict the possibility of confrontation with a foreign country. He also said that they could clean up on the currency speculation market.
