Tired of doctors telling you to see specialists, wait for test results, and run across town to five different facilities to get different treatments? Social media conspiracy theorists have a much better alternative. It’s a device that looks like a sleek MRI and cures all your ills, from terminal cancer to the sniffles, to depression, and they’ll hook you up with people selling parts of these magical devices until a government led by the right people releases them for free to humanity.
If that sounds a lot like something you saw in Elysium, Prometheus, Passengers, Stargate and other sci-fi franchises, you are correct. That’s the only place such things can exist for the next few hundred years at least.

We’ll dive deep to find the answers.
