100-year-old formulae for pi are more than just math, unravel modern black hole mysteries
SMRTR summary
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science discovered that century-old mathematical formulas by Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan for calculating pi naturally emerge in modern physics theories describing black holes, turbulence, and percolation. This unexpected connection allows physicists to perform complex calculations much faster using Ramanujan's techniques, potentially revolutionizing computational approaches in high-energy physics.
