Yep. "make room! make room!" by HH and "with folded hands" by Jack Williamson.

if they can just find some way to magnetize it we can clean up broken glass with a magnet....

Dark Universe, counterfeit world

perhaps it did, and heaven is just like the world was ...

Didn't Sir Fred Hoyle say this in, what, 1982?

I always liked the cloud platform Monkey zipped around on....

Now wait for the first instance of a hacker hypnotizing an entire office to act like chickens, via the light fitting internet system...

I thought progress was only made every alternate Friday, usually from about 3pm onwards....

but what about for thinner body parts, like hands or feet? A quick scanner for those might still be useful for replacing the need for xrays in some situations. It might be possible to have the light sent to include positioning information (for example, send a string instead of a single pulse) and correlate where it was seen with where it was sent from.

I've had this idea for a while now that low-heat, very bright LEDs are available as light sources: 1. take an existing CAT scanner: Xray source, detector, mounting system (with the rotating arm) and image processing software. 2. replace the Xray source with a bank of LEDs 3. replace the Xray detector (a scintillation screen? whatever it is) with a CCD 4. start scanning Obviously there's a whole bunch of experimentation needed to calibrate diffusion due to different types of tissue/bone/marshmallow but the software should be mostly unchanged, the mechanical mounting system would be mostly unchanged, and we'd be replacing a radioactive source with a low-power, low-heat light. Is anybody working on this? I've asked a couple of professor at a biomedical engineering department but much silence ensued. The ability to use off-the-shelf components seems like a big plus to me... There would also be a need to check at what intensity cold light is detrimental to cells (and other small issues like that)
