ITs interesting to read about it. since one of my undergraduate degress and my graduate degree is in the physical sciences realm. The idea to un-spool tape in vacuume to create the x-ray must have been after a looooong night of students discussion of physics and applications (and RUM...or beer!!)
hehehehehe
