THERE have been some great inventions not yet made. The flying house. The singing aardvark. A machine that goes to the toilet for you, so preventing you missing bits of telly. And now Iranian inventor Ali Razeghi, 27, has invented a ‘time machine’ that can predict your person’s future.

He hasn’t made one yet because he’s worried that the Chinese will steal his idea. 

The invention rests with Iran’s Centre for Strategic Inventions, idling with other of Iran’s inventions yet to be put into action, like democracy, equality and the six-blade razor.

The Aryayek Time Travelling Machine can “predict five to eight years of the future life of any individual, with 98 percent accuracy”.

“Naturally a government that can see five years into the future would be able to prepare itself for challenges that might destabilize it. As such we expect to market this invention among states as well as individuals once we reach a mass-production stage.”

And it works so well that Iran has already leapt forward eight years into the futre; it’s elite theocrats have bounded into 714.

Razeghi adds:

“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.”
