The minds of beautiful people

The first was Srinivasa Ramanujan, a mathematician famous for his intuitive genius.
The second was Paul Dirac, a physicist famous for his prediction of anti-matter.

S. Ramanujan was a shy, self-taught poor prodigy who got ideas from the goddess in his dreams.
Paul Dirac had a troubled childhood and was a man of few words preferring physics to humans.

One discovered a paradoxical equation: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + · · · + ∞ = -1/12
The other a most beautiful equation in physics: (iγᵤ∂ᵘ – m)ψ = 0

When the whisper you hear becomes a roar, you step out of the shadows.
The universe becomes your stage, and the world a spectator!

——

“An equation means nothing to me unless it expresses a thought of God”, S. Ramanujan
“Pick a flower on Earth and you move the farthest star”, P. Dirac

When the ‘power of and’

Boomerang on me I believe the best decisions often are not about choosing between two options But a combination of the best in the two. God one day, in a good mood, asked me what do you want – nature or wealth I said both. Since then my house has always been full of money plants. Sometimes it is best to pick one side Knowing when is even more ...
