On Saturday, July 1st, 2006, I received the following request from physicist Jack Sarfatti, in San Francisco:
"Hey Gary what's the name of that kid from Tehran you told me about a year ago or so? I forgot his name. Are you still in touch with him? Does he have a web page?"
In a follow up email Sarfatti explained that "the reason I asked is that a member of the USG [United States Government] asked me my opinion on the above work by Mohammad Mansouryar..." When asked, "Can he push the state of the art and is this work technically competent?" Sarfatti had replied, "It's better than most in the field."
