Seeing the past, understanding the consequences of past actions should indeed change our perspective and our reality.

But... if history taught us anything, it is that we do NOT learn from history. History for the past 200 years or so has been documented ( with huge biases I admit but still). More recent history, thanks to mobile cameras and recordings of all kinds, also should have taught us not to make the same mistakes again.

Did it?

Not sure a chronoscope would change that.

We have known for a long while that fire burns the flesh...but, just in case, we still want to touch it. Like a moth to a flame, humans seem to be doomed!

But hey... I still love science fiction!
