The banquet was not the most interesting event I've attended. The mathematician conversations weren't engaging for me, at least not at that level.
However, I met a person at the banquet with whom the conversation took a slightly different turn.
She was a woman around 30 years old. What stood out about her was her hair, which was lightly tinted green at the ends.
She approached me on her own while I was talking to Terence Tao and greeted me, "Good Evening, Professor Sullivan, Professor Tao."
We turned our heads to her and welcomed her.
She then said, "My name is Lilian Veri. Mr. Sullivan, I have heard that you've been doing research in Quantum Physics."
"That's true. Have you read my papers?"
"Yes. I have. And I must say, I'm very interested. Do you have a moment to talk about gravity?" she smiled.
My eyes opened slightly wider.
"I don't know how you knew, but I've recently started focusing precisely on gravity."
