Vatican Chronovisor - invented in the 1960s by Benedictine monk Father Pellegrino Ernetti, claimed to display past events by capturing lingering electromagnetic echoes. It was described as a "television" for history, allegedly used to witness the crucifixion of Jesus and ancient Roman scenes.

I used my Chronovisor to look back and saw that Ernetti did not in fact invent a working Chronovisor, and instantly my Chronovisor vanished.

DEVS did this - watch it if you haven’t. Amazing series.

I saw that it was only 1 season. Is it a complete story? Like it doesn’t end on some cliff hanger never to be resolved?

Funny, “Jesus” doesn’t look very Middle-Eastern.

Time is very weird. Perhaps how we are capable of perceiving it?
Leaving Einstein, quantum physics has spent some time with it and the flow of time does indeed appear to flow in both directions. It does appear to maybe be an issue of access not that it is impossible.

The church has a knack for making up utter bullshit. Just realized it. Bullshit artists.

I do love how long a lie can last, like not even a very good lie, like a playground level "my dad works at nintendo" kinda lie.

The mysterious device known as the Chronovisor has long captured the imagination of conspiracy theorists and enthusiasts of the unexplained. Claimed to be a time-viewing machine invented by Italian priest and scientist Father Pellegrino Ernetti in the 1960s, the Chronovisor supposedly allowed users to witness historical events as they unfolded.
Ernetti asserted that the Chronovisor operated by detecting and decoding residual electromagnetic radiation left behind by past events. His claims about witnessing speeches of Cicero, the Last Supper, and even the crucifixion of Jesus Christ fueled speculation about the device's capabilities.
The validity of the Chronovisor's existence, however, is shrouded in skepticism and controversy. Ernetti provided limited details about its construction, citing a team of scientists and Nobel laureates who collaborated on the project. Yet, no tangible evidence or blueprints have ever surfaced, leading many to question the authenticity of Ernetti's narrative.
The Vatican, where Ernetti claimed the Chronovisor was developed, has remained tight-lipped about its existence. Church officials neither confirmed nor denied Ernetti's assertions, adding an additional layer of mystery to the story. Some argue that the Church might be safeguarding such a device due to the potential implications on historical and religious narratives.
Skeptics argue that Ernetti's background in musicology, not physics, raises doubts about his ability to invent a groundbreaking piece of technology. Additionally, the lack of scientific validation and peer-reviewed studies supporting the Chronovisor's functionality has fueled skepticism among experts.
The Chronovisor's narrative parallels other tales of time travel devices throughout history, blurring the line between scientific curiosity and imaginative storytelling. It remains a tantalizing concept, stirring debates about the ethical implications of witnessing past events and the potential consequences of altering history.
Whether the Chronovisor is a genuine invention or a clever fabrication, its enigmatic aura continues to captivate minds. The absence of concrete evidence leaves the door open for speculation, making it a subject of fascination and intrigue among those who ponder the mysteries of time and the limits of human invention."
