They were fine talking about Ramanujan, but then it went off into a metaphysical supernatural direction, which has nothing to do with many of the world’s greatest minds. To say that Steve Jobs envisioned the iPhone in a daydream doesn’t mean he was tapped into a supernatural realm. That’s called imagination and we all have done it. And while Ramanujan had a freakish mind for math, so did people like Tesla, Euler, Gauss, Erdös, and Archimedes who also left volumes for future generations to decipher.

The greatest mathematician the sun has ever seen, along with Euler. Unsurpassed aptitude, unbeatable cerebral capacity, unmatched processing speed, unparalleled mathematical depth... Ramanujan was the upper boundary of human comprehension. Innate, immutable talent... He is the definition of unearthly intelligence.

Anyone can be genius just be brilliant in maths😎😎 Ramanujan is normal indian mathematician who studied maths at extreme levels took it to research method

Surprising that Leonard Euler was not even mentioned.

Euler's first name is Leonhard (probably because he solved hard problems) :)

he had no formal education and yet he produced his work, is that not a miracle?

There are miracles and then there are miracles...Ramanujan, Einstein, Newton, Leibnitz, all of their works may seem miraculous to us because we don't understand it. That's just it - we don't have the understanding so being human we have to invent an answer. Miracles, an answer that has no solidity in fact and reason which spirals off into the unprovable into direct contradiction to the knowledge these geniuses created. Religion and spiritualism - proof without evidence: science evidence without proof.

Ramanujan was a perfect mad man. We define a PERFECT mad man as the person who can drive other people mad while he remains the same and sane. When you say I have added toooooo many positive whole numbers and got a negative answer people will say ...OK we understood where you belong....but when Ramanujan says I have added all the positive integers and got a NEGETIVE FRACTION people say yeah you got it right. Definitely Ramanujan got those people mad !!!

My dunce cap has the shape of Gabriel's horn (also called Torricelli's trumpet). My cap can hold 1.0L of paint (finite volume), but would require infinite paint to cover the inner surface (infinite surface area). A very strange hat it is.

Nice video, but whilst Ramanujan is definitely a top-tiered (pure) mathematician, IMO...a comparison with other 'applied' scientists such as Newton, Einstein & Tesla is a bit off balance. Make no mistake that he was a rare type of genius, but I'm not sure how much of his legacy has applicability to say modern Physics, Engineering & even Chemistry (Newton's 2nd specialty)....only time will tell....🤔

It is very tough to judge among these big guns. Everyone has worked on their chosen or loved branches of Math. I am a Math teacher and I love plane geometry the most. I can solve very tough questions on geometry and have a huge urge to solve an unknown problem....but I don't feel the same in algebra, number theory etc...as I can't visualize them.

Well I will say this comment is someone ignorant. Ramanujan was a vegetarian and a healthy body most certainly allows for a HEALTHY MIND.

Certainly similar to Tesla. Whereas Newton was just a very very very hard worker, with a singular focus his entire life. And Einstein is just way overrated -- others (Poincare, etc) came out with relativity before him, and he needed help from David Hilbert (& others), and....relativity is a home in the clouds -- nothing new has been built with it.

@tomrose2086

Poincare, Lorenz, Minkowski, Lorenz and others contributed to the development of the theory of Special Relativity, but none of them figured out the whole picture. That was left to Einstein Special relativity Proof of existence of atoms Photoelectric effect (leading to Quantum Mechanics) ... all in the same year followed by General Relativity some years later Yes, what an overrated underachiever he was. I note you are happily using modern computer and communications technology which would not exist without QM and Relativity theories And Newton, that old drudge. "Just" a hard worker. Anyone could have done what he did. NOT! Heck, most people can't manage an hour of hard intellectual work, never mind a lifetime.

Time dilation, length contraction, simultaneity, concept of spacetime. All of these donr by the scientists you mentioned. None of it by Einstein. If he deserves a mention, it should be a small one. He plagiarised most if it and passed it as his own.
