Dash!

Just took a look at the equations you sent me. Holy cow! I knew you were smart, kiddo, but this is off the charts. We’re talking game-changing stuff here. Huge implications for humanity.

To be honest, some of this is even a bit beyond me, so I guess it’s a good thing you sent it to Dr. Brahmaputra-Marquez too. Together, we’ve been able to analyze it all, and she’s in agreement with me that this is Einstein-quality work.

We have to talk about this ASAP. I’m dying to know how you even came up with it. I just tried to call you, but didn’t reach you. I’m betting you’re surfing. Or maybe chasing girls.

Anyhow, genius, call me IMMEDIATELY when you get this.
