伊朗科学家宣称已发明"时间机器" www.6park.com
伊朗德黑兰科学家阿里?拉齐格（AliRazeghi）已经在伊朗战略发明中心注册Aryayek时间旅行机的专利。拉齐格说，这种装置依靠复杂的演算法则，可通过与用户接触预测其未来5到8年的情况，准确率达98%。 www.6park.com
　　现年27岁的拉齐格是伊朗战略发明中心的常务董事，他还有另外179项发明。他说：“为了发明时间机器，我已经钻研了10年。我的发明很容易放入个人电脑包中，可以预测使用者未来5到8年的生活。它不会将你带到未来，但却可以将未来带回到你面前。” www.6park.com
　　拉齐格说，通过他的新发明，伊朗政府可以预测与外国发生军事对峙的可能性，也可预测外汇价值和石油价格波动。他说：“一个政府能预见未来5年的情况，就可以提前为挑战的到来做好准备。我们预计，一旦大规模生产，这种产品将被许多国家以及个人使用。” www.6park.com
　　拉齐格还说，他的最新发明被亲朋好友批为“欲扮演上帝”。但他表示：“这种装置并不违反我们的宗教价值，美国人投入无数资金欲开发类似机器，而我只花了很少的钱就达到了目标。”

An Iranian inventor recently claimed he created a "time machine," according to reports. But the Internet is skeptical, and with good reason. www.6park.com
The Telegraph caused a stir Wednesday with a story about a young Tehran-based scientist, Ali Razeghi, and an invention he calls "The Aryayek Time Traveling Machine." Reportedly something of a mad scientist, Razeghi claimed the device, which "easily fits into the size of a personal computer case," can predict with 98-percent accuracy the future five to eight years of an individual's life. www.6park.com
The Telegraph cited an earlier story, in Farsi, by Iranian news agency Fars. However, The Washington Post reports that Fars quietly deleted the story, even as it began to go viral among Western media outlets. (Fars' link is now dead.) The Atlantic Wire points out that the story never even made it to the Science section on the site's English-language side. www.6park.com
A separate interview with Razeghi was published in Farsi by Iranian news site Entekhab. The story says Razeghi is a supervisor at Iran's Center for Strategic Inventions and Inventors and claims that his baffling invention won't be available for another few years, at least. "We're waiting for conditions to improve in Iran," Razeghi told the outlet, according to a translation by The Huffington Post. www.6park.com
Razeghi was coy during the interview, refusing to give out many details because he was worried his idea would be stolen and reproduced by China. He did say, however, that his device incorporates both hardware and software components, and that it cost roughly 500,000 Iranian tomans (about $400). When asked whether he was worried the machine might cause problems, he said he envisions it used selectively, to tell a couple the future sex of their child, for example. www.6park.com
Neither Iran nor Razeghi have publicly responded to the report. www.6park.com
Radio Free Europe writes that "most Iran watchers will be treating his announcement with a certain amount of skepticism," in light of a recent flap that involved a Photoshopped picture of Iran's Qaher-313 stealth fighter jet. www.6park.com
Scientists around the world have made previous claims (some dubious, some less so) about their own "time machine" inventions. In 2009, a man named Steve Gibbs, of Clearwater, Neb., said he had invented a "hyperdimensional resonator," which he claimed could be used for "out-of-body time travel," according to the Examiner. www.6park.com
More recently, in 2011, physicists from Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., announced they had developed a "time cloak" that they say can hide events for trillionths of a second.
