Benedict History: Einstein to Sagan

My mom Leeanna Ruth Mickelson Benedict speaks with astrophysict Carl Sagan.

My grandpa, Anthony Gorman Benedict, youngest to be accepted to Cal Tech in the 1930’s and considered a genius.  Once stumped Einstein and the later was proved true ;-) 
I met w Cal Tech professors this summer of 2017 who unanimously proclaimed my grandfather was correct in his question and Einstein wrong. The proposed question later led to the discovery of the Richter Scale as we know today to measure earthquakes.  The modern analysis of this letter from the most brilliant minds at Cal Tech - the same ones whove discovered Planet 9 recently. My gpa and mom were both badass Benedicts.  #benedict #einstein  #sagan
