They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. (Andy Warhol)

Some things never change. Squirrels have been cute for ages!!!

Other things change a lot...

In 1901, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen received the Nobel Prize for inventing x-rays.

78 Years later, Sir Godfrey N. Hounsfield invented the CT-scan. It made him another Nobel Prize winner.

After that, several inventors took it another step further.


We have a digital volume tomograph . It gives a 3-dimensional image of the teeth and jaw. One look at that image and we see whether your jawbone allows implantation and exactly where to insert them.

I always think it looks like a time machine. Every time I see this photo, I start fantasizing about being shoved into that thing and then floating to a moment back in time.

I hope that moment will be the early 17th Century when Rubens was painting his perfectly shaped women.

Returning into the 21st Century, I would land at the National Gallery in front of my own painting....
