Activate The Genius Channel

Kumbakonam, India. Early 1900s. A young man sits on the stone floor of a small house in a temple town in southern India. He has no formal training. He has never attended a single university lecture. He owns one outdated textbook. And from that thin volume, working alone on a stone floor, he begins to produce mathematics that should be impossible. His name was Srinivasa Ramanujan. He skipped the proof. He skipped the derivation. He simply wrote down the answer. He told Cambridge the formulas came to him in his sleep. A century later, mathematicians are still proving him right — including equations he wrote down in 1920 that turned out to describe the behavior of black holes.
