I just watched his movie. What an asshole. He just threw out formulas without any proof. Just like /sci/.
someone redpill me on geniuses like ramanujan
how does it work, did he notice stuff other people wouldn't notice or did he simply have an awesome memory and would remind everything perfectly like that movie ''limitless''?
how does one create shit out of the blue like that without any past training?
I don't believe he really contributed anything especially useful to the scientific community. He mostly just made a bunch of abstract formulas that defy normal reasoning. Like infinite sums and shit.

/lit/ here. You meant to say "shitted out formulas". This adds an analogy, and improves the assonance and syllable count.

Bunch of fucking brainlets.

This book "Idea Makers: Personal Perspectives on the Lives & Ideas of Some Notable People" discusses him.

It's a combination of talent and obsession.
Ramalamajama has said that he would often see formulae in dreams. He was a skilled manipulator of formulas, but also had some deep intuition and just a little bit of crazy that led him to make logical leaps in his (frequently omitted) derivations. Sometimes justifiably, sometimes not.
His 'past training' was all of the math books from his local libraries that he devoured and extended.
>>8301019
His contributions to number theory are currently leading us to ask some of the deepest questions we have ever been able to answer. Some of his results are cutesy algebra, sure, but some of them, like the stuff with partition functions and (mock) theta functions, are littered with unprecedentedly profound insights.
>He often said, "An equation for me has no meaning unless it represents a thought of God."

how one genius fag describes his inspiration does not BFO atheists senpai
>>8300692
Useless theorems that no one uses.

BRO if you had seen the movie you would know that his work is helping physicists understand how black holes work

geniuses are not dictated by genes. Only a handful out of the entire earths population are able to progress subjects to practical applications.
These handfuls can come from anywhere around the world and whats even unsettling is that some may never get their appreciation due to the remote areas they live in or they get discouraged by the environment.
The guy who makes the mathematics to apply teleportation may come from the poorest areas of china or the most lucrative areas of Detroit.

Are you legit retarded? Next time try to use some logic.

i saw an indian movie where he said, and i paraphrase, but paraphrase truthfully
scenario: talking in private with a friend
>god is what i tell people who do not understand mathematics
