Solving the mysteries of black holes or chaotic weather patterns is incredibly hard. The math is so messy that it slows down even the smartest scientists and fastest computers. Scientists discovered that "shortcuts" written by the math genius Ramanujan 100 years ago are the perfect fit for these problems. His old formulas for Pi actually describe how the universe is built. We can now solve giant science puzzles much faster. It shows that Ramanujan’s 100-year-old math was "future-proof," helping us understand space and nature today.
