Srinivasa Ramanujan — Największa zagadka w historii matematyki

Srinivasa Ramanujan—a genius whose formulas were dictated by a goddess. The true story of the greatest mystery in the history of mathematics. A poor clerk from colonial India, without a university education or an exam, sent nine pages densely filled with formulas to Cambridge. Some 120 theorems—and not a single proof. England's best mathematicians stayed up until midnight, and by morning they were talking about the second Newton. Thus begins one of the most extraordinary stories in the history of science—the story of a man who knew infinity. In this feature-length documentary, we trace the entire life of Srinivasa Ramanujan: from his childhood in the temple town of Kumbakonam, through years of poverty and hunger, to his triumph at Trinity College and his premature death at the age of just thirty-two. We'll explore his extraordinary friendship with Godfrey Harold Hardy—a cool English atheist for whom proof was religion, and an orthodox Brahmin for whom religion was proof. We'll trace the famous letter from January 1913 that changed the course of mathematics, the prohibition against crossing the ocean, the dream of the goddess Namagiri, years of illness in English sanatoriums, and the anecdote about the number 1729, which became the most famous joke in the history of mathematics. We'll also tell the story of what happened after his death: the years-long verification of his notebooks, the sensational discovery of the "lost notebook" in 1976, and how the formulas written on his deathbed still operate in the physics of black holes and in record-breaking calculations of pi. This is a story of genius, faith, loneliness, and suffering—and also the story of a mystery that science still can't fully unravel. The film is both educational and documentary. It was created for viewers who appreciate reliable, in-depth biographical narratives from the history of science and mathematics. Controversial issues—the nature of the source of his insights, his diagnosis of illness, the circumstances of his life in colonial India—are presented in a balanced manner, acknowledging the existence of differing interpretations.
