SUM OF INFINITE SERIES BY RAMANUJAN

In this blog i am going to discuss about something very strange important but strange a master piece from a Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan , who who discovered something mind blowing .

 

So if i ask you what is the sum of all natural number more likely you will answer  "infinity" and like always genius personalities has something different opinion just like srinivasa Ramanujan .

Lets see how 

                  1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 . . . . . .

Became 

-1/12

Let's take a infinite series S1 - 

                   S1 = 1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1 . . . . . .

lets do little maneuver with it like we always do in mathematics - 

S1 = (1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1). . . . . . 

we are just taking brackets at first on "plus one" and than closing it after "negative one" and we don't know infinite is either even term  or odd term so lets take above S1 series as even .

AGAIN - 

S1= 1(-1+1)-(1+1)-(1+1)-(1+1)-(1+1)-(1+1) . . . . . .

here we are taking brackets at first on "negative one" and closing it after 'plus one" and let this series as odd .

so result's will be  - 

S1 = 0   (even term) 

S1 = 1 (odd term) 

now result of same series is 0 and 1 so we will take average of it now S1 becomes 

S1 = (0+1)/2

S1 = 1/2 ----> eq(1)

Now we will take another series as S2 - 

S2 = 1-2+3-4+5-6+7 . . . . . . . . .

S2 = 1-2+3-4+5-6+ . . . . . .

So we are writing S2 two times and second time by sliding it one digit right . so 1 of "second time written S2" will come just below the 2 of "first time written S2 series" ( sliding digits will make no difference as it is a infinite series we are talking about ).

and by adding both of the series we will come on the conclusion of -

2*S2 = 1-1+1-1+1-1+1 . . . . . .

and right hand side is equal to S1 by eq (1)= 1/2

And S2 becomes - 1/4 -----> eq(2) .

Now reached to our decisive part - 

so we will take here one new series as S3 

S3= 1+ 2+3+4+5+6+7+8 . . . . . .-----> eq(3) .

And we will subtract  S2 by S3 

S3 - S2 = 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 . . . . .  

  -(      -)(1-2+3-4+5-6+7-8 . . . .  . .)

Result will be = 0+4+0+8+0+12+0+16 . . . . . .

( S3 - S2 ) = 4+8+12+16 . . . . . . 

S3 - S2 = 4 ( 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 . . . . . .)

We can write it as by eq(2) & eq(3) as

(S3 - (1/4)) = 4*(S3)

and transferring unit S3 right hand side we have - 

-1/4 = 4*S3 - S3

-1/4 = 3*S3

SO FINAL CONCLUSION IS - 

S3 = -1/12

you can say that this is like a mathematical trick and if you think like that than congratulation's you unknowingly joined a group with huge number of following's but this is true , if mathematical prediction's goes wrong or makes any contradiction  we immediately remove that concept because mathematics don't allow any concept without proof and Ramanujan proved it , and this result are used in various theories of physics like string theory and quantum mechanics  and working with 100 % compatibility  . as for as string theories concern one can't prove a 26 dimension's concept without this result at all .

DIFFRENCE BETWEEN HEAT AND WORK !

H EAT and WORK plays vital role in thermodynamics. Its very common misunderstanding between peoples that they are ENERGY but they are not energy they are medium by which we transfer energy   .  although they d on't seem to be identical because heat   is thermal property and work is mechanical property but they are same  , at microscopic level they both are same phenomenon .     HEAT   They are just moving of molecules , having difference is only , heat is moving of molecules disorderly in any direction OR in other words heat is microscopic collision of molecules . WORK   Work is moving of molecules  in only single direction OR in other words work is m acroscopic push and pulls ( given by product of force and displacement ) . both shares same SI unit as JOULE . We termed work as high grade energy and heat as low grade energy  Because in reversible or irreversible process we can convert work 100 % in heat ...

WHAT IS NANOTECHNOLOGY ?

N anotechnology is the science of manipulation of matter according to our need at the Nanoscale of the order of 10^-2 . it have tremendous possibilities in near future because of its ability of making advance material  with unique chemical property which suits according to condition   .  This term technically first time introduced by physicist Richard Feynman in 1959 in his lecture with topic of There is plenty of room at the bottom . but at that time technology was not enough to implementation of his idea in practical application's . Primarily there is two type of approaches we use to construct anything  - I)  Top-to-bottom approach  II) Bottom-to-top approach Top-to-bottom approach :- when we cutoff resource to make our desirable shape is known as Top-to-bottom approach ; Ex- wooden chair .  Bottom-to-top approach :- when we construct structure by starting from its minute cells to approaching required shape of structure is known...
