The interest in anti-gravity by two private investors, Roger Babson and Agnew Banhson, changed the course of general relativity.

CLARIFICATIONS:
- Technically it was George S. Trimble who started the RIAS. Witten's supervisor was someone named Welcome Bender. I had this in the original script but it was becoming extortionately bloated with various names, and since Trimble was the CEO of Glenn Martin, I decided to phrase it the way I did in the script.
