伊朗科學家稱發明“時光機” 可預測未來8年事件

An Iranian businessman claims to have mastered time with a machine that allows users to fast forward up to eight years into the future.
伊朗一名實業家宣稱已經可以用機器操控時間，用戶通過這個“時光機” 能夠飛躍到八年後的未來。

Ali Razeghi, a Tehran scientist has registered "The Aryayek Time Traveling Machine" with the state-run Centre for Strategic Inventions.
這位來自德黑蘭的科學家阿里·拉齊格，已經在國家戰略發明中心註冊“Aryayek時間旅行機”的專利。

The device can predict the future in a print out after taking readings from the touch of a user, he told the Fars state newsagency.
他對伊朗國家通訊社表示，這個裝置可以通過接觸用戶讀取信息，然後預測未來並顯示出來。

Razaeghi, 27, said the device worked by a set of complex algorithims to "predict five to eight years of the future life of any individual, with 98 percent accuracy".
現年27歲的拉齊格說，這個裝置通過一系列的複雜演算，“可以預測任一用戶未來5到8年的情況，準確率達98%。”

As the managing director of Iran's Centre for Strategic Inventions, Razeghi is a serial inventor with 179 other inventions listed under his own name. "I have been working on this project for the last 10 years," he said.
作爲伊朗戰略發明中心的常務董事，拉齊格名下還有另外179項發明。“過去十年，我一直在鑽研發明這個時間機器，”他說。

"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."
“我的發明可以輕鬆地放進個人電腦包裏，預測使用者未來5到8年的生活細節。它不會將你帶到未來，但卻可以將未來帶回到你面前。”

Razeghi says Iran's government can predict the possibility of a military confrontation with a foreign country, and forecast the fluctuation in the value of foreign currencies and oil prices by using his new invention.
拉齊格說，通過使用他的新發明，伊朗政府可以預測與外國發生軍事對峙的可能性，也可以預測外匯價值和石油價格波動。

"Naturally a government that can see five years into the future would be able to prepare itself for challenges that might destabilise it," he said. "As such we expect to market this invention among states as well as individuals once we reach a mass production stage."
“一個政府能預見未來5年的情況，就可以提前對可能威脅其統治的挑戰做好準備。”他說，“我們預計，到可以大規模生產階段，這種產品將被許多國家以及個人使用。”

Razeghi said his latest project has been criticised by friends and relatives for "trying to play God" with ordinary lives and history. "This project is not against our religious values at all. 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," he said. "
拉齊格還說，他的最新發明被親朋好友批爲“欲扮演上帝”，主宰生命和歷史。但他表示，“這種裝置並不違反我們的宗教價值，美國人投入數百萬美元欲開發類似機器，而我只花了很少的錢就做到了。”

"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." He continued.
至於“時間機器”的樣機尚未發佈的原因，拉齊格解釋說，他擔心“發佈之後會被中國人竊取技術，然後在一夜之間造出數百萬個時間機器"。
