>>8036582
Certain people are born in this world but not apart of it. These people are like Ramanujan, Gauss Cantor, Godel etc.

>>8036582
I don't know why people consider him a genius. He only worked on pre-existent stuff, and found some curious and useless facts.

>>8037461
at the time of discovery he found a formula for pi that gives arbitrary precision in the quickest amount of time

not exactly the most useful thing, but certainly not useless

>>8037461
lol

he discovered on his own in a span of a few years with no formal education what an army of highly educated rich white mathemeticians took decades/centuries

make no mistake. if mathemeiticans were in the DBZ universe, he would be majin buu

Is there a more autistic mathematician?

>>8037962
It's easy to confuse yourself with this shit but it's quite simple.

All that the ramanujan summation stuff, cutoff and zeta regularization does, is look at the smoothed curve at x = 0.
What sums usually do is to look at the value as x->inf.

It's just a unique value you can assign to a sum, really they have many such values.

he's smart, his story is p inspiring, and he talk good.

still, what's so fuckin special about him, or his model? shit just sounds like a rehash of spinozism. I'm seriously curious why people worship him

>>8039072
because people can't deal with the daily reality. They want to have hope that something miracle will happen in the future, that we will have next Einstein or Mozart, next genius who would discover some new revolutionary shit. Simple people still want to believe, but there are a few talents: Tao, Perelman, Hawking and we have not seen any revolutionary discoveries, they've been working on the existing physics/math base and finishing up the existing assumptions, thoughts, works from previous great scientists. Humanity have reach the top point in science. No one has new ideas. We're still using a lot of shit invented in 50-70s. That's sad.

>>8039102
man, what a fucking bummer. I have to agree with all of what you say

>>8039072
He seems like a pretentious shit. No idea what his achievements are in science. Why have I never heard of anything other than his pseudoscientific theory. I think he just acts like he's so much smarter than everyone else.
Sounds like he flunked out of college. The stupid shit he's came out with about brain size in this video is laughable.

>>8038718

>>8039119
Thanks, bruh

>>8039228
He's quite good at linguistics and making up words and shit. But I genuinely don't think he's ever produced anything that's not been laughed at by the mainstream scientific community. And when no one can make sense of anything he writes, it's clearly because they're too dumb to understand it haha.

I think the moist interesting thing to me is whether Ramanujan acquired this skill though hard solitary work or whether he was naturally born with a superior mutation that allowed his brain to see mathematics intuitively.

>the set of possible people allowed by our DNA
This is an intuitive notion that people don't like to assume the opposite of: How do you measure two people as being "the same person"? Additionally, we don't know how well evolution makes use of the human genome. We could be well beyond our uniqueness limit for the ~2000 era but nobody has the means to notice it yet. I "know" there been at least one instance of two people being strikingly similar in the modern era because of an episode of Late Night a few years back.

If we can't even begin to quantify it then the set of all possible people that haven't been born yet could be 13% of the people that have. Maybe the great filter is DNA and we just haven't realized how few organisms and interesting things there will be in the whole entire universe.
