Iranian Scientist Claims to Have Invented Time Machine

Sounds like a magic 8 ball

Iran could be home to the world's first time machine, if claims from an Iranian scientist are to be believed (color us skeptical). According to The Telegraph, a scientist based in Tehran, Iran has registered with the Center for Strategic Inventions a device called "The Aryayek Time Traveling Machine," which can reportedly allow individuals to peer into the future – up to 8 years into the future, that is.

The time machine isn't of the police box or compact car variety, however, with the 27-year-old inventor Ali Razeghi stating that it can fit in a briefcase. Likewise, it doesn't work in the conventional ways a time machine is imagined to work. Rather than whisking users away to the past or future, this device is said to make its predictions based on the touch of a user.
