OT/OT/OT!!Yes, humbling in a way to drive me from the field except for fun. The Bernouli brothers posed the brachistochrome problem and figured they'd wait for months. The day after the problem was posed a certain fellow involved in alchemy at that part of his life, wasting his time of course, solved it over an evening. His name was Isaac Newton. The Bernoulli brothers said something self-effacing to the effect that they recognized the lion by his print...absolutely humbling. And Ramanujan...no formal training at all...a mutation of neuronal maturation perhaps, definitely wired differrently than the rest of us.
We should probably be doing this chatter in private...sorry thread
