Hey, I am getting famous again!<\/p>\n

For the second time, Quora decided to feature one of my answers<\/a> on their Forbes blog site. This one was in response to the question, “Is Theoretical physics a waste of resources”? I used the example of Maxwell’s prediction of electromagnetic waves to turn the question into a rhetorical one.<\/p>\n

Forbes used a stock Getty image of some physicists in front of a blackboard to illustrate the blog post. Here, allow me to use the image of a bona fide blackboard, one from the Perimeter Institute, containing a few of the field equations of MOG\/STVG, during one of our discussions with John Moffat.<\/p><\/div>\n

Anyhow, I feel honored. Thank you Quora.<\/p>\n

Of course, I never know how people read my answers. Just tonight, I received a mouthful in the form of hate mail from a sarcasm-challenged defender of the US space program who thought that in my answer<\/a> about astronauts supposedly having two shadows on the Moon, I was actually promoting some conspiracy theory.
