109 years ago, Ramanujan slept for 3 days in Namakkal temple, seeking Goddess Namagiri Devi's permission to attend Cambridge University upon Prof. G H Hardy's invitation. Fearing the loss of his Brahmin status, he sought her blessing. (1/2)
[Ramanujan slept here in this mandapam]
This delay concerned Cambridge professors. Eventually, the goddess appeared, either in his or his mother's dream. Ramanujan, a devout Hindu, believed math & spirituality were intertwined & often attributed his mathematical insights to divine inspiration from Namagiri Devi.(2/2)

Mantra: Absolute Reality is infinite and whole
This is my interpretation.
[Please retweet] 1/n
That shanti-mantra is from the Hindu scripture, the 'ishopanishad', and is known as the 'Purnamadah Mantra'. It is a beautiful and profound expression of the concept of infinity or the absolute reality, also known as Brahman, in Hindu philosophy.
2/n
The mantra states that the Absolute Reality is infinite and whole - "Om, That is infinity, This is infinity; From is infinity; from that infinity, this infinity comes. From That infinity, this infinity is removed or added; infinity remains infinite."

In this thread, I will offer a comprehensible overview of the mathematics underpinning 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴. We will explore topics such as complex numbers, qubit states, tensor products, unitary transformations, measurement, and entanglement.

💥𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗡𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀: Essential to quantum computing, complex numbers are written as z = a + bi, where a and b are real numbers and i is the imaginary unit (i² = -1). Complex numbers are crucial for representing quantum states and their amplitudes.
2/n
🌐 𝗤𝘂𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀: In quantum computing, a qubit is a 2-dimensional complex vector represented as |ψ⟩ = α|0⟩ + β|1⟩. α and β are complex coefficients (amplitudes) with |α|² + |β|² = 1, unlike classical bits (0 or 1), qubits exhibit superposition. 3/n
In this short thread, I aim to share my thoughts on one of the best movies and one of my favourites, '𝐀 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝,' as it aligns with my keen interest in movies centered around mathematics and physics. 1/n
This is a 2001 biographical drama film that tells the story of mathematician John Nash, who suffers from schizophrenia and struggles to distinguish between reality and hallucinations. The movie had a profound impact on audiences and raised awareness about mental illness. 2/n
The movie was a critical and commercial success, winning four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and earning praise for its sensitive portrayal of mental illness. It helped to break down stigmas surrounding mental health and encouraged more open discussion of the issue.

In this brief overview, I attempt to provide concise explanations of the Millennium Prize Problems in mathematics. By successfully solving one of these problems, you would be eligible to receive a million-dollar prize.
a thread 1/n
The Millennium Prize Problems are a set of seven unsolved problems in mathematics that were announced by the Clay Mathematics Institute (CMI) on May 24, 2000.
2/n
The CMI established these problems to highlight some of the most challenging and important open questions in mathematics and to inspire progress in the field. A cash prize of $1 million is awarded for each problem that is solved, subject to the CMI's rules and criteria.

Advaita and Vishishtadvaita are two major philosophical schools within the Vedanta tradition, which is a part of the broader Indian philosophical system. Vedanta is based on the interpretation of the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Brahma Sutras.

Nikola Tesla and Srinivasa Ramanujan were both prodigious intellects whose respective fields were transformed by their extraordinary contributions. However, they diverged in their fields of expertise, social upbringings, and methods of problem-solving.
2/n
Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor, electrical, and mechanical engineer, is renowned for his pioneering work in electromagnetism, which led to the invention of the alternating current (AC) electrical system, revolutionizing the distribution and transmission of electricity.
