Documentary: The Chronoscope: RTÉ One
-
02-11-2010 12:26am#1Charlotte Keppel was born and raised in Ireland. She was a self taught scientist and discovered the Chronoscope in the 1930s. The machine was denounced by the Catholic Church and many other organisations in the 1930s with people calling for the Machine to be destroyed. At this stage the Nazi had come to power in Germany and were interested in seeing their true Aryan past, they Kidnapped Keppel and tried to use her invention to spread their propaganda unfortunately it back fired showing the Germans to be descendant from barbarians. Keppel was fortunate to escape from the Nazi and made her way to Switerland.
Keppel is possibly one of Ireland most respected female scientists of the 20th Century and she and her invention had pretty much disappeared from History. The Documentary is well worth the look, well researched, nicely narrated by Jeremy Irons.I am easily fooled
, hope you were too
I will post up a link to it if RTÉ put it on the Player.0
