Fr. Pellegrino Maria Ernetti (1925 -1994) was a Benedictine priest and scientist who has been said to have developed a time machine! This was a serious man who, working with Enrico Fermi and Nikola Tesla, developed a Time Machine. This might be easily dismissed except for the fact that he was not your typical "crack-pot". He was a scholar and, for God's sake (no pun intended) he did work with some notable and highly respected scientists -- Fermi! Tesla! He developed a device called the CHRONOVISOR which enabled him to view the past in manner not disimilar to watching a television. Now purists might say that this isn't true time travel but, hey, who's splitting hairs here. It is reported that Fr. Ernetti used the Chronovisor to actually watch the crucifiction of Jesus! The actual device, the Chronovisor, is said to have been placed into the vaults of the Vatican Library for "safe-keeping".
Why would a noted and reputable man, priest, scientist make up such a fabrication? If he were an unstable sort, would people like Enrico Fermi or Nikola Testla given him the time of day? Or is there something to this?
The "chronovisor" was portrayed as a large cabinet with a normal cathode ray tube for "viewing" the received events and a series of buttons, levers, and other controls for selecting the time and the location to be viewed. According to its inventor, it worked by receiving, decoding and reproducing the electromagnetic radiation left behind from past events. It is unknown, however, what scientific principles could serve as a basis for such a function.

the only drawback to the chronovisor that I can see is the fact that it's all re-runs! There's nothing new on the tube!
And the "vibes" would be detectable by other devices. We have insturments that can detect a full range of electromagnetic vibrations. Others would have rediscovered this and used it to locate lost treasures very quickly.
