 Walter H.G. Lewin Walter Lewin, professor of physics  (1936-)

Walter Lewin is an astrophysicist and a teacher with a flair for showmanship.  His legendary undergraduate lectures at MIT were broadcasted by UWTV (Seattle) and were online in video form, through MIT's OpenCourseWare.  In March 2017,  Quora  blocked / unblocked him.  So, he left.
