The Man Who Knew Infinity\' - Srinivasa Ramanuja

1729, "The Man Who Knew Infinity" - Srinivasa Ramanuja, an incredible testament to the mind that God gives to man, meticulously worked out the details. God speaks in numbers, like infinity  - Numbers only prove there is a God. Ramanujan was right: mathematics is the one true universal language on this planet (his Goddess spent time teaching him mathematics as a child). It can be used for good or bad.  Sad but true to the heart about God like Kite: You can fell string on hand. I pray for all mankind to use it for good to benefit the human race. God can manifest to reach anyone in any way He wishes. His mother, Janaki Ammal, died on April 13, 1994, at the age of 94. She never remarried. It is possible his wife became the first Indian woman to receive a doctorate degree in botany in the USA. He was a hidden, Unexpected genius in the early 1900s.

Worth detailing: (1) at time 35:25 self righteous pride is so destructive and feeds only one's self narcissistic nature. That poor excuse of a teacher, Mr. Howard, is an example of obnoxious British pride, or anyone like it.

(2) at time 25:13 I hope the genius Mr. Littlewood was speaking tongue in cheek when he said, Newton “ invented” gravity. I am a high school dropout, and I know that Newton ‘discovered’ gravity.

(3) at 1:42:55, His formulas were used to explain black holes, 100 years later.

Yet another autodidact proving the genetic roll of the dice demands an intense dedication one must devote to learning... Leonardo Da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, Michael Faraday, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman, as well as mathematician Bertrand Russell. There are many philosophical and historical references in this film. Ramanujan was a theist, and Hardy was an atheist. But if you know the history of mathematicians, many were avowed Platonists. Russell and Frege were this way. Math and Plato seem to go hand in hand. When you're dealing with math, god, intuition, proofs, and infinity at once, things get bizarre fast.

The flame that burns the brightest, lasts only a short while. But, then, that's enough.

Even though all I lack for an Associates Degree is Algebra, I cannot phathom a partician but my God can, & that’s all I need…..God speaks in numbers & many other languages, like infinity hopefully Ramannugen now knows God is not an elephant, but God can manifest to reach anyone any way He wishes, even if they only see in particians?

An incredible testament to the mind that God gives to man, Srinivasa Ramanuja would meticulously work out the details but do it on slate as opposed to paper due to the expense of the latter. He wouldn't always document those details for others to examine, but he knew they had been proven correct. I suspect that, like Einstein, he was far more excited about the actual theories, than the necessary details needed to prove them. Srinivasa Ramanujan married at age 22 and his wife was only 9 years old! She lived with her parents until she was 12, so she could learn to be a wife. They had a son together when he returned, but their son died in 1931. Although he did marry and had 3 children of his own before he died. 

 

A truly touching story about the life of Srinivasa Ramanujan. If one wishes to read the Wikipedia article, though, they will learn that he wasn't quite as unknown prior to meeting up with Hardy at Cambridge as we're led to believe.

And had a very significant start in advanced mathematics and number theory while still in India. Another important point is that he lived for another year after returning to India, and his wife, Janakiammal (Janaki), was well taken care of after his death by his supporters. Finally, there was, in real life, no reluctance on his part to prove his work,
