Actually I did also, about two years ago... trying to find a cause for chronic sinus infections. Nothing found there ;-)

Well, those bacteria don't image very well.

One of my users does MRI micro-imaging, and they *can* resolve bacteria. But that doesn't (yet) work inside a human body, which is too big and too wiggly for that sort of resolution.

But imagine, some day, a non-invasive way to scan your body at truly microscopic resolution; pathology without surgery.

They've been doing this in sci-fi for decades. They have one on the Enterprise, there was one on the Nostromo, etc.

What if you could scan to an atomic level, transmit the data to a remote location, and build an identical copy? Would there be two of you? Or if they wake up the guy at the destination, is that where you'd wake up? [1]

Then, of course, you have the dilemma of the source passenger...

Because you're such a jerk. They're just jerking back.

Yep, when Jim gets a nibble on the line he jerks to set the hook. You weenies jerk back, running with the hook, line, and sinker. ...so predictable.
