⚛️ Ramanujan's ancient pi formulas link to black holes

Srinivasa Ramanujan's 17 infinite series for 1/pi, noted in 1914, are now being connected to advanced physics. Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) found a mathematical bridge between these formulas and black hole physics.

This suggests Ramanujan intuitively used a mathematical engine governing matter at critical points. The discovery provides new shortcuts for calculating complex quantities in these physical theories. 🔬
