The Amazing Story of Quantum Mechanics
“James Xavier, searching for improvements in patient care, develops a serum in the form of eye drops that enables a person to see through solid matter. Eschewing animal testing as not being suitably reliable, he experiments on himself and does indeed gain the ability to see through a person’s clothing and epidermis. However, this success leads to one of the greatest catastrophes that can befall any scientist—he loses his research grant when his funding agency discounts his claims of “X-ray visio...n!” Nevertheless, his ability to see within the interior of a person enables him to save a small child’s life, as he recognizes that she was about to receive an unnecessary and ineffective operation. Sadly for Dr. Xavier, his X-ray vision becomes stronger and stronger, until his eyelids and thick dark glasses provide no respite. It does not end well for the well-meaning doctor, as the biblical expression “If thine eye offend thee ...” plays a key role in the film’s conclusion.
