It turns out that something has been watching the Earth in minute detail since before the solar system was formed, down to a sub molecular level. It can give you the answers to any historical questions, but not things like what someone was thinking or feeling.
All the world’s problems have been solved, and the information is only used with the strictest privacy, e.g. you can only get information on living people with their permission, or if you’re a member of law enforcement solving a crime.
The question is, if you have a hobby, job, or other reason to research the past, like being a geologist or genealogist, would you take the answers, or would you prefer to do the research yourself?
I think there’s definitely some cool things lost to history that could be answered:
Where did the voynich manuscript come from and who wrote it?
How did the romans make roman fire?
Where is Atlantis?
How did life come to be on earth?
Who was jack the ripper?
Did anyone see what I did on a may 16th 2011 at 7:16pm?
Those are easy:
A grifter.
The true Roman way.
Plato’s Republic.
Increasingly complex chemical interactions around thermal vents.
Some rich guy.
Nope.
Their name?
Their process?
Their geological coordinates?
Possibly?
Nice.
Wait, that was you?! 😱
