What do you think of the Cronovisor?

Question

The Cronovisor(in Spanish) is a device that it is said it could capture images of the past, like taking photos of past events.
There was an italian catholic priest that with the help of some scientists, that tried to invent the Cronovisor.
I really wish it can be invented.

Answer 1

Well, in all technicality, it could be done. If you had a super computer that you could input the past 10000 or so locations of every atom in the scene you were viewing, and then run a regression on those locations, you could essentially watch a movie of what happened in the recent past in one particular view. This would probably be limited to a small radius, seeing as how there are billions of atoms in something the size of an orange. That is what it would take, and is why it probably doesn't exist. Let alone for it to be invented by a catholic priest of all things....geez-

Answer 2

In May of 1972, an Italian newspaper published the spectacular news: a benedictine priest, lawyer in quantum and specialistic physics in electronics, had constructed next to other twelve specialists in the matter, a device able to catch images and sounds of last events
According to it explained Pellegrino Ernetti, the energy in luminance form and sonorous that emanates each object is recorded in the atmosphere, so that using the suitable instrument it would be possible to be reconstructed from this energy the images and sounds of a specific event. And the chronovisor one was the instrument for such incredible aims.At the moment two scientific equipment is studying the possibility of creating a chronovisor based on the same principle that Ernetti maintained: "Whenever the sounds or images affect the matter, that is transformed partly into static energy, they can be recreated as a form of energy still unknown".Just another mystic visionary? Not at all. Father Ernetti was a musician, a celebrated historian of archaic music at Venice's Conservatorio di Stato Benedetto Marcello, a philosopher, and a physics studies graduate. It was thanks to his scientific interest that, in the 1950s, he was able to build the "Chronovisor," a true time machine.

Answer 3

Sounds an awful lot like a description of the Hubble Telescope to me!

Answer 4

I think it's fascinating to think about. I have read the book about it - there are interesting ideas on almost every page. I would like to think it could be possible to invent one too - or maybe it already exists? :)

Answer 5

I do too. Imagine finding a way to see history as it actually happened.
ALl they need to do is bend time and space and we are halfway there

Answer 6

Forget it. It's impossible. Too much sacramental wine on his part.

Answer 7

it would really be amazing and eye opening. i would love it, but youtube is becoming a cronovisor

Answer 8

uh wat and ya sure??
