Chronovisor time machine

This is an AI depiction of the Chronovisor. The Chronovisor is a time machine hidden in the Vatican, that allows users to observe past events based on certain locations. By design, it recaptures lost lightwaves from the past that have been emitted and expelled into space. This device was developed in the 1950s by 12 famed scientists, including famed rocket scientist Wernher von Braun and Nobel Laureate and physicist Enrico Fermi. The main inventor, Father Pellegrino Ernetti, claimed to have successfully used the machine to view and observe past events. Nonetheless, the actual existence of this device is debated, as well as the truthfulness of those who claim to have used the machine. There is an incredible potential that the entire device never was made, and it was all hype. Now, what do you think? Do you think that this device exists or existed at one time? What would you do if you could observe thousands of years in the past? Is it possible for a Chronocisor to be invented?
