What if someone actually built a machine capable of seeing the past?

The Chronovisor is an unexplained object that has been discussed for many years by many people. It was described by an Italian monk named Pellegrino Ernetti to be a way of viewing past events, recovering voices of long gone individuals and even witnessing things thought to have disappeared from memory.

Most discussions focus on whether the machine existed. In this episode, Bill and Deb take a different approach. If the Chronovisor were real, how could it possibly work?

The discussion about possible recordings of dad’s voice after he died, theories of how information is stored in non-linear time, theories about consciousness and ideas about whether or not reality retains part of its history form a series of intriguing technological enigmas.

Was the Chronovisor a very elaborate hoax? Was it genuinely misunderstood? Or is it representative of something deeper regarding the nature of time? Perhaps the true mystery isn’t the machine but rather if the past truly disappears from existence ever.
