Ramanujan's Deathbed Conjecture Finally Proven

I suspect that you're quite wrong.

I might be wrong.

But, what if I am right?

The man was a mathematical prodigy.

Mathematical prodigy or any other type of prodigy means nothing, so far as the brain goes.

The grey matter in between your ears contains similar amount of chemicals as the ones inside the head of those so-called "prodigies".

I don't think it was a matter of choice at all, but rather some sort of unique wiring

Unless it is proven that that deceased Indian math genius suffered from some acute type of "savant syndrome", I seriously doubt his brain has any "unique wiring" of any kind.

My view is that it's more of a "will" - the will to think, to explore, to use as much brain capacity as the brain can provide, without any negative effect.
