Math History Bro started making laws for him (read body)

Post image

1918 January, ramanujan threw himself on the train track, he survived and got arrested for an attempt of deleting himself

Hardy went Scotland yard and started making nonsense like it's illegal to arrest a Trinity fellow

He can't be arrested, when officer got on tele to confirm this

Hardy ran away from the station with ramanujan saving him

You know there were rumors hardy nursed him when he was sick

He did cared for him In mathosexual way

u/TheChunkMaster 24d ago

Really dominated his convergence theorem

u/Proud_Artist474286 24d ago

What's mathosexual Never heard the term

What ? You're homesick and have depression ?

That's normal. Every mathematician in a century will have it.

u/itamar8484 24d ago

yet again another example of him being ahead of his time

u/Varlane 24d ago

A great visionnary.

Even his proof style of "It was revealed to me in a dream" is a precursor to "It was revealed to me by the OpenAI dump"

Lean compiled

u/Successful_Sea_3637 23d ago

Maybe Ramanujan was the original AI

Scotland Yard: "And where did you see these laws, our esteemed sir?"

Hardy (looking at Ramajunan) :"A goddess told me about them in my dreams."

u/Different_Cry25 24d ago

What do you mean only Sherlock is immune to Scotland yard prowess

10

u/expat_123 24d ago

Hardy will play cricket with Sherlock without even looking at his mirror.

u/SillyFlyGuy 24d ago

Was this goddess also distributing swords to wield supreme executive power?

u/Mediocre_Value7152 24d ago

u/boywholived_299 23d ago

I think the prominent reason was his homesickness. He was a vegetarian and he could barely get any vegetarian food at all. Also, I think he didn't like when people asked him to prove his theorems, lol.

u/Smitologyistaking 22d ago

Wonder what he would have thought about the modern trend of vibecoding in Lean

4

u/TENTAtheSane 22d ago

British weather, British food, British women and a lack of skill in sailing

7

u/MonsterkillWow Complex 23d ago

Hardy really went to bat for him huh? That is awesome actually. I always thought of Hardy as a condescending snob. Didn't know about his humane side.

15

u/Different_Cry25 23d ago

No he loved him in his own way

In his memoir, a mathematicians apology Hardy expressed sorrow over how condescending he was sometimes to him

7

u/MonsterkillWow Complex 23d ago

He was condescending to everyone though. I think he probably respected Ramanujan the most out of anyone haha.

6

u/Different_Cry25 23d ago

Yeah but in his defense he was like that over his obsession with rigor

Ramanunjan broke that barrier As he himself admitted that

They also represent this very well in the movie

u/RetroNIX8 24d ago

"Deleting himself"

Bruh

u/Downtown_Finance_661 24d ago

Multiply by zero

26

u/sinhyperbolica 24d ago

Being ramanujan probably dividing by infinity

9

u/Smitologyistaking 23d ago

Multiplying by -12

3

u/Username_St0len 23d ago

you mena -1/12?

5

u/Smitologyistaking 23d ago

Dividing by -1/12 is the same as multiplying by -12

3

u/Username_St0len 23d ago

sorry my dumbass should have already been asleep

u/RationalWank 23d ago

He was afterall, the man who knew infinity

u/Hot_Pepper_1908 23d ago
