Ramanujan's Math Predicted Black Holes 111 Years Ago, IISc Reveals Profound Link!

• Srinivasa Ramanujan's 1914 formulas for calculating Pi are now linked to black holes and quantum physics.
• IISc researchers, Professor Aninda Sinha and Faizan Bhatt, discovered the hidden physical meaning behind these equations.
• Ramanujan's Pi formulas share the same mathematical structure as conformal field theory, relevant to black holes and turbulence.
• His work, once considered abstract, now simplifies complex calculations in high-energy physics.
• Ramanujan unknowingly developed mathematics for concepts that physics would only fully understand over a century later.

Why It Matters: Ramanujan's century-old math for Pi now underpins modern physics, from black holes to quantum theory.
