Srinivasa Ramanujan’s cryptic formula proved correct after 90 years

Srinivasa Ramanujan, the Indian mathematical wizard’s cryptic math formula which is also known as Ramanujan’s deathbed theory has finally been proven correct after 90 years of his death. Academicians  are astonished to see that the function could be used even today.

In 1920, while he was in death-bed, Ramanujan send a letter to his academic advisor GH Hardy mentioning some of new mathematical functions which were never heard before. In that letter, Ramanujan even hinted how it could work. But before he could explain more, he died untimely at the age of 32.

For the last 90 years this formula was open for proven and researchers world-wide continue to work on the theory but it took almost 90 years to prove it right.  

According to ‘Daily Mail’ reports this functions could also explain the behaviour of black holes.  

Emory University mathematician Ken Ono said, “We proved that Ramanujan was right. We found the formula explaining one of the visions that he believed came from his goddess. No one was talking about black holes back in the 1920s when Ramanujan first came up with mock modular forms, and yet, his work may unlock secrets about them”.
