Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in ...

Ramanujan's pi-computing machinery exactly mirrors the necessary structure in modern physical theories (LCFTs).

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 ...

IISc researchers connect Ramanujan’s century-old pi formulae with modern physics, uncovering surprising mathematical ...

How confusing inevitability with reality built decades of paradox. What if general relativity never actually tells us that ...

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 ...

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 ...

Before Einstein, before Bohr, there was a Jesuit priest with a telescope and a startlingly modern vision of the universe.
