Complexes Quote by Michio Kaku

There is great exhilaration in breaking one of these things. ... Ramanujan gives no hints, no proof of his formulas, so everything you do…

They [formulae 1.10 - 1.12 of Ramanujan] must be true because, if they were not true, no one would have had the imagination to invent them.

— G. H. Hardy

“If you recall, in Ramanujan's letters to English mathematicians, he claimed that 1 + 2 + 3 +...= -1/12. He was so surprised when…

I will never probably have the mathematical foundation to truly understand what string theorists are talking about, but it feels good, just for its…

Srinivasa Ramanujan was the strangest man in all of mathematics, probably in the entire history of science. He has been compared to a bursting…

Just like an ordinary guitar string, a fundamental string can vibrate in different modes. And it is these different modes of vibration of the…

We do not know how to formulate string theory nor do we know its underlying principles. Surprisingly, this fact does not stop us from…

I remember once going to see him [Ramanujan] when he was lying ill at Putney. I had ridden in taxi-cab No. 1729, and remarked…

Having those extra dimensions and therefore many ways the string can vibrate in many different directions turns out to be the key to being…
