Iranian scientist claims to have made a time machine

Or to be more precise... a machine that can predict into the future of a single person using algorithms for a span of 5to 8 years...
Basically you'll be able to know what is going to happen to you in the next 8 years... true or fake you'll be the judge!

Iranian creates time machine

Hmm. There are a lot of good thoughts here...www.abovetopsecret.com...
The general consensus is that this could be legit but not in the way of time travel.

BTW, your thread is ok, it's in a different forum.

oops my bad sorry

Well, I feel the first hint is this is coming from Iran.

Remember Mr. kesche? We're still waiting on that one.

I live in CT, but as the saying goes, I'm from MO on this one, so, show me.

Yeah..

I don't believe it. but whatever.
Unless it's the Dan Burisch one.

Ok. So what can they say about the future?

Sorry but North Korea has the real time machine.

One wrong move and we'll send them back to the stone age.

Yes, I heard about this next week.

Considering how backward that region is, I'm just glad they finally figured out how to make a clock.

Not funny. Iran is very far from backward; you seem to have forgotten it is one of the oldest civilisations in the world, and one of the few countries in the world never to have suffered Western imperial rule. Learn a little bit about Persia and you will be scrotum-tighteningly embarrassed at what you have just posted.

I have many Iranian friends, and they are among the most sophisticated folk I know.

One of the oldest countries. I wasn't thinking of that, but since you mentioned it, let's have a look at all the Nobel Prize winners. Of course, with Islam being such a positive influence on learning there should be hundreds of winners.

List of Nobel laureates by country

What relevance has a list of Nobel prizewinners got to do with whether a country is backward or not? What kind of a standard does that imply? That the measure of civilization is achievement in a few selected fields, such as physics and literature? That scientific advancement is the purpose of mankind?

You know nothing of Iran and Iranians—your opinion is just that of another internet tourist who thinks his native culture is the yardstick by which all others should be measured. Your first and most ignorant error is to think that the Islamic Republic of Iran is all, or even most of, what Iran/Persia really is. That is very far from the truth.

Before you presume to pass judgement on other people's cultures and degrees of advancement, learn a little about them. Without understanding, your 'opinion' (it seems hardly to deserve even so modest a description) is nothing but malodorous hot air.

I remember a joke from the Reagan days: what's black and glows in the dark? Iran, after we (meaning the US) have finished with it. I thought the relative barbarism of Iran and certain constituents of the United States of America was perfectly exemplified by that joke. Needless to say, Iran is still there. I suspect it will outlive America.

It's a standard that implies that education is the goal of a society. Yes, scientific advancement is the purpose of mankind. What, do you think the goal of mankind is to deny there are gays living in Iran? To imprison women for being raped? How about when an Iranian father sold his daughter into the sex trade, but the daughter escaped and found her way back to Iran - her HOME country - and SHE was thrown into prison for using a false passport to get back in - again, to her OWN country!

Please, never boast of how great a nation is when the entire world sees it as savage and unjust, and, well, downright ignorant.

The entire world? Evidently your world is rather small—no wider than a TV screen.

The 'entire world' does not consist of the United States and its Western allies. They do not even constitute a majority.

Did he see himself telling the world that he's too scared to let the world know how it works? That's like an invitation to an assassination.

The concept of a person having to touch the machine to see the future, it reminds me of Nostradamus' way of getting to write his predicting quatrains. Nostradamus sat in a tripod chair with water on the ground, I think there was some crude electronics involved.

With the right astrology chart one can predict some details, with chart progression and casting lots of fortune and so on. So the algorithm of the planets, or an ephemeris, is what is needed.

Here is the hard part: would peoples' futures exist the same way without the machine, or does the addition of the machine create a certain future? The algorithms of the machine itself might mutate the future, to have people dependent on the time-circuit for its predictions to exist.

A prophet machine. It sounds like idol worship. I can imagine people going to it, saying, but the machine said my future would be this way not that way.

He might have gotten his percents off. As in, 2 percent of the time it works 98 percent. So does a psychic chicken.

Oops, sorry. When I wrote: Please, never boast of how great a nation is when the entire world sees it as savage and unjust, and, well, downright ignorant. I meant the entire civilized world. You know, the countries that don't overrun embassies and keep 52 people hostage for 444 days. The parts of the world that would never accept some islamic nutjob theocratic ayatollah as leader.

Just imagine a world where Iran and the rest of the Middle East suddenly disappeared overnight. I'm thinking of words like peace, safe, equality, intelligence, more sane, more caring...what a much MUCH better world it would be.

Yes, people often think such thoughts. Some even try to put them into practice. You may have heard of a fellow called Hitler.

Yep, lunatics pop up from time to time in the civilized world, and we take them out. Unfortunately, the Middle East is an infection that's lasted for over six thousand years.
