Ramanujan's 111-Year-Old Diary Reveals Black Hole Secrets, Shakes Physics World
- •Srinivasa Ramanujan's 1914 'Pi' formulas, once pure math, are now linked to black holes and quantum physics.
- •IISc scientists (Professor Aninda Sinha, Faizan Bhat) discovered the formulas align with 'Logarithmic Conformal Field Theory'.
- •This theory explains 'scale invariance' in systems like black holes, turbulent winds, and critical points of water.
- •Ramanujan unknowingly developed mathematical frameworks crucial for understanding complex modern physics phenomena.
- •His 100-year-old work is now simplifying high-energy physics calculations and guiding cosmology.
Why It Matters: Ramanujan's century-old math, once abstract, now unlocks secrets of black holes and modern physics.
