Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru have linked Srinivasa Ramanujan's over-a-century-old formulas for pi to contemporary physics, including turbulent fluids and the universe's expansion. Their work, published in Physical Review Letters, reveals unexpected bridges between Ramanujan's intuitive mathematics and conformal field theories. This discovery highlights how pure math can mirror real-world physical phenomena.
