Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in ...
A new study reveals that Srinivasa Ramanujan’s century-old formulas for calculating pi unexpectedly emerge within modern theories of critical phenomena, turbulence, and black holes. In school, many of ...
Why did Ramanujan’s formulae stay relevant for a century? His set of 17 expressions offered huge speed. They gave long digit ...

100-year-old formulae for pi are more than just math, unravel modern black hole mysteries
Ramanujan's pi-computing machinery exactly mirrors the necessary structure in modern physical theories (LCFTs).
Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr had an ongoing rivalry about the true nature of quantum mechanics, and came up with a thought ...
BENGALURU: Everyone has studied the irrational number π (pi) in school and wondered what is its use in modern day life.
A radical new theory begins with a central claim: consciousness is the fundamental field of reality; time, space, and matter ...
The universe occasionally produces a huge surprise that proves physicists wrong, says Kip Thorne, who grew up in Logan, Utah, ...
Scientists at CERN spent the last decade waiting for a one-in-ten-billion chance event, and now they’ll spend the next few years figuring out whether it challenges the laws that (we think) govern the ...
Before Einstein, before Bohr, there was a Jesuit priest with a telescope and a startlingly modern vision of the universe.
In late 2008, a few onlookers believed that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) would bring the end of the world. Three years later, our planet remains intact, but the European particle smasher may have ...
