Wells as a genius for inventing the idea of the time machine in his novel, “The Time Machine,” some believe he was revealing a top-secret capability. Since his novel was first published in 1895, thousands of books, articles, and videos have followed, documenting curious accounts of time travel and dimensions beyond the wildest of imaginations. One of these works, Father François Brune’s 2002 book, “Le Nouveau Mystere du Vatican,” brings a forgotten time-travel device called the Chronovisor, back into the public eye — or at least into the minds of conspiracy theorists. Brune, who learned of the device in the early 1960s, swears the Chronovisor exists. A day after he met scientist-priest Father Pellegrino Ernetti for the first time, the two were sailing along the Grand Canal of Venice discussing biblical interpretations, when Ernetti explained that theories and interpretations were unnecessary when one could see the truth for himself. He explained to Brune how the Chronovisor functioned, allowing the viewer to both see and hear events of the past and future. His full account is included in Brune’s book. With a little digging, researchers will find first mentions of the Chronovisor in a 1972 article published in the Italian magazine “La Domenica del Corriere,” entitled, “A machine that photographs the past has finally been invented.” Belonging to the Vatican, the Chronovisor time machine is heralded as one of the papacy’s best-kept secrets. The device is said to be replete with three precious alloys, cathodes, dials, levers, and that it has the ability to display myriad historic events in biblical and Roman history. Acting as a sort of television, the Chronovisor has even supposedly verified the existence of Jesus Christ and broadcast his crucifixion. The Chronovisor time machine is claimed to have been invented in the 1950s by a dedicated and secret team of Italian scientists, including physicists Enrico Fermi and Pellegrino Ernetti. Critics may take credibility issues with the fact that Ernetti eventually became a priest. However, Enrico Fermi’s reputation is nothing to scoff at. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1938 “for his demonstrations of the existence of new radioactive elements produced by neutron irradiation and for his related discovery of nuclear reactions brought about by slow neutrons.” Video Player is loading.Play VideoPlayUnmuteCurrent Time 0:00/Duration 0:00Loaded: 0%Stream Type LIVESeek to live, currently behind liveLIVERemaining Time -0:00 1xPlayback RateChaptersChaptersDescriptionsdescriptions off, selectedCaptionscaptions settings, opens captions settings dialogcaptions off, selectedAudio TrackQuality LevelsPicture-in-PictureFullscreenThis is a modal window.Beginning of dialog window.

Fermi’s scientific notoriety is interesting enough to take a closer look at the Chronovisor, but was he really capable of engineering a time machine with his team? Some argue that this was the case. Still, Fermi could never defend the invention and its workings either way, because his name was not associated with the project  until 1992, decades after his 1954 death. Except for one other name, the rest of the Chronovisor’s team of inventors has remained anonymous: the famous, or infamous, Wernher von Braun, a one-time Nazi SS member and eventual esteemed NASA rocket scientist. Von Braun had also died by the time his name became publicly linked to the project. However, it is known that he had been working on the Third Reich’s Die Glocke or Nazi Bell, during the final years of World War II. The Chronovisor may have represented another link between the Nazis and the Vatican, who maintained close ties during the war. It therefore wouldn’t be shocking if the Chronovisor technology had been shared between the two entities. Evidence of the Chronovisor is flimsy, as far as scientific standards go, comprised of dubious photographs, including a Chronovisor photo of Jesus on the cross. The Chronovisor’s alleged photo of Jesus next to a South American church’s statue of Jesus   Ernetti also claimed to have seen the Roman poet Quintus Ennius’s lost play Thyestes, and then transcribed its scenes for the public. Doubt has also been cast upon this transcription, with Princeton University’s Professor Katherine Eldred (an expert on Thyestes) explanation that the version Ernetti produced is not only too short, but it also contains Latin words that wouldn’t have been used until 200 years after Ennius’ time. When considering the veracity of the Chronovisor, one might refer to T.L. Sherred’s science fiction novella, “E for Effort,” that was published in 1947, just before the supposed invention of the Vatican’s device. In his novella, Sherred writes about a time-viewing device with characteristics that bear a striking resemblance to the Chronovisor. Savvy researchers may agree that, while time travel may indeed be possible, the Chronovisor is a not necessarily a medium for it. Physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking has discussed the possibilities of time travel, explaining in one instance, “If we want to travel into the future, we just need to go fast. Really fast. And I think the only way we’re ever likely to do that is by going into space.” Physicist Fred Alan Wolf has suggested that time travel is possible because “it really has to do with a rather delicate relationship that exists between mind and matter…[W]hat time travel is really all about is learning how to move in and out of that realm where things get defined by the mind.” Unfortunately, Ernetti never provided a detailed explanation as to how his time travel device was fashioned or how it worked, except to mysteriously claim that it ran by “processing residual electromagnetic radiation left over by numerous processes.” Also unfortunate is that the Chronovisor, if it ever did exist, could never be studied and replicated, for Ernetti claimed he had to dismantle it to keep it out of the hands of evil. That said, many believe the Chronovisor still exists, safely hidden away in the walls of the Vatican, remaining one of its best-kept secrets.   There’s another group that claims to have the ability to time travel, who just so happens to have a show on Gaia.

Next Article Cymatics Could Help Surgeons Identify Cancer Cells for Tumor Removal 5 min read By Michael Chary | April 11, 2022 | Seeking Truth , General Science , Science & Technology AddThis Sharing ButtonsShare to FacebookFacebookShare to TwitterTwitterShare to RedditRedditShare to MoreAddThis8 AddThis Sharing ButtonsShare to FacebookFacebookShare to TwitterTwitterShare to RedditRedditShare to MoreAddThis8 The study of cymatics has fascinated researchers for years. Now, one scientist has found a practical way to use the phenomenon to enhance targeted cancer treatments. The study of cymatics, or the spontaneous, geometric patterns produced by sound when it encounters water or particulate matter on a surface, was coined by Swiss researcher Hans Jenny in 1967. Jenny documented the patterns that appeared when putting sand or fluid on a metal plate that was connected to a sonic frequency oscillator.  Today, acoustic-physics scientist John Stuart Reid has partnered with Dr. Sungchul Ji at Rutgers University, to apply cymatic imaging to identify cancer cells compared to healthy cells. The two hope to develop this technology to allow surgeons the ability to more precisely target cancerous cells when removing tumors. “So, what we do with the Cymascope instrument is to literally imprint sound onto the surface and indeed the sub-surface of pure, medical-grade water and thereby make it visible with specific lighting techniques. It’s actually quite difficult for a surgeon to remove a tumor in its entirety,” Reid said. While this type of technology would aid any procedure requiring the surgical removal of a tumor, it would be particularly groundbreaking for brain surgery and other highly sensitive areas in which healthy cells must be carefully navigated.
