The Hindu vegetarian tradition is harmful. . .

To transcend the past, you must understand the past. This is a mantra full of pride and humility. Many great men through the ages have followed it. Only by standing on the shoulders of giants can you see the small mountains. Against the background, the rareness of Ramanujan's genius is obvious. He has not received any professional education, and he does not even understand the basic paradigm of mathematical proof, but in the desert isolated from the frontier mathematics and mathematics world, he has discovered so many simple and complex wonderful formulas. Hardy, puzzled as to how he got his inspiration, replied earnestly that it was the Hindu goddess who put these on his tongue while she was sleeping. I think only the reason that he is a future traveler is more convincing than his own reason. Littlewood vividly commented on his talent, "For Ramanujan, every positive integer is a good friend of his." The cooperation between Bole and Maxima is always full of surprises and conflicts. In his interactions as a teacher and a friend, Hardy injected rigor into his genius, the foundation of the mathematical world. Since then, the blade has been added to the armor. Damn strong desire for control, secretly withholding the correspondence between the couple, mistaking his wife's change of heart to torture the genius's heart, the vegetarian tradition of Hinduism and the cold and humid climate of the United Kingdom destroying the genius's body. He died young of tuberculosis at the age of 32. Alas, the brightest flower that blooms always wilts the fastest.

    Maybe there are always some "geniuses", who are sent by the heavens to enlighten all beings. The way they perceive the world is different, maybe they have been in this world ""in previous lives"". They often perceive this ""familiar world" in an intuitive way, and then slowly be understood and demonstrated by more "mortals".

    The biggest gain is to know such a genius mathematician. Makes atheists have to suspect that he was sent by God. For things that cannot be explained by one's own cognition, it takes a mind to try to accept and change oneself. Genius will always need Bole. When he left those formulas behind, he fulfilled the orders of God, and dying young seemed to be his standard.
