1+2+3+...+inf = -1/12

During my high school years, I was particularly fascinated by Physics and all the math that was related to defining what this universe is. A good starting point came from learning about Special Relativity described by Albert Einstein in 1905. It neatly defines the relationship between space and time.

With every Physics problem comes the math. Surely not every math concept fascinates me but this partculary one did: Ramanujan Summation

This one is so so neat! Just look at how you'd not want to believe in it until you see the working. The sum of the natural numbers is actually a negative fraction.

I loved this math so much that I ended up gifting it to my friend in the form of a letter in a pretty handwriting. So if the person is reading this blogpost, you know it's you.

Strangely when I went back to search about read this, I found alternate workings to the value of the summation. I'll and update this when I get the intent to finish it.
