God of Mathematics.

Second Ramnujan of India.

A man who challenged Einstein’s theory of E=mc²

In 1972, he returned to India and joined as a Lecturer in IIT, Kanpur. During the next five years, he taught at IIT Kanpur, TIFR, Mumbai and ISI, Kolkata. In 1977, he showed symptom of Mental illness, Schizophrenia and after a decade of poor quality treatment at Kanke, in 1988 he left that place without informing anyone. In 1992, he was found in a poor condition in Siwan, Bihar.

His school students have rehabilitated him in Patna, with a professor like ambience, study table, board, library, books etc to make him feel easy and comfortable.

Singh died on 14 November 2019 at Patna Medical College and Hospital in Patna after prolonged illness.

2. ALAN TURING

---

During the Second World War, Turing worked for the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) at Bletchley Park, Britain's codebreaking centre that produced Ultra intelligence.
Turing played a crucial role in cracking intercepted coded messages that enabled the Allies to defeat the Nazis in many crucial engagements, including the Battle of the Atlantic, and in so doing helped win the war.

Born in 1912, Turing died in 1954, 16 days before his 42nd birthday, from cyanide poisoning. An inquest determined his death as a suicide, but it has been noted that the known evidence is also consistent with accidental poisoning.

3. GEORG FRIEDRICH BERNHARD REIMANN 17 September (1826 – 20 July 1866)

---

He was a German mathematician who made great contributions to Mathematics.

His father, Friedrich Bernhard Riemann, was a poor Lutheran pastor in Breselenz who fought in the Napoleonic Wars. His mother, Charlotte Ebell, died before her children had reached adulthood. Riemann was the second of six children, shy and suffering from numerous nervous breakdowns. Riemann exhibited exceptional mathematical skills, such as calculation abilities, from an early age but suffered from timidity and a fear of speaking in public.

Reimann's hypothesis is a problem that has remained unsolved for more than a century and a half.

He died of tuberculosis at 39 during his third journey to Italy in Selasca (now a hamlet of Verbania on Lake Maggiore) where he was buried in the cemetery in Biganzolo (Verbania).

4.LUDWIG EDUARD BOLTZMANN

---

Boltzmann was born in Erdberg, a suburb of Vienna.When Boltzmann was 15, his father died.

In 1869 at age 25, thanks to a letter of recommendation written by Stefan, Boltzmann was appointed full Professor of Mathematical Physics at the University of Graz in the province of Styria.

In 1906, Boltzmann's deteriorating mental condition forced him to resign his position. Four months later he died by suicide on September 5, 1906, by hanging himself while on vacation with his wife and daughter in Duino, near Trieste (then Austria).

5. ERNEST MILLER HEMINGWAY ((July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961)

---

Noble Price winner in literature(1954)

Pulitzer prize for fiction (1953)

In 1954, while in Africa, Hemingway was almost fatally injured in two successive plane crashes. On their way to photograph Murchison Falls from the air, the plane struck an abandoned utility pole and "crash landed in heavy brush. Hemingway's injuries included a head wound.

The next day, attempting to reach medical care in Entebbe, they boarded a second plane that exploded at take-off, with Hemingway suffering burns and another concussion, this one serious enough to cause leaking of cerebral fluid.

Despite his injuries, Hemingway accompanied his wife on a planned fishing expedition in February, but pain caused him to be irascible and difficult to get along with. When a bushfire broke out, he was again injured, sustaining second degree burns on his legs, front torso, lips, left hand and right forearm.

Other injuries later sustained by Hemingway include: two cracked discs, a kidney and liver rupture, a dislocated shoulder and a broken skull.

After the plane crashes, Hemingway, who had been "a thinly controlled alcoholic throughout much of his life, drank more heavily than usual to combat the pain of his injuries.

In 1959, he bought a house in Ketchum, Idaho, where, in mid-1961, he ended his own life.

6.EVARISTE GALOIS [1811-1832]

---

At age 20, Evariste Galois fought a duel in Paris. He was shot, dying the following day. The duel was probably the result of a romantic dispute.

In the days before the duel, convinced he would be killed, Galois poured out his mathematical thoughts on pieces of paper and sent them to his friend, Auguste Chevalier. The papers described an entirely new, immensely important field of mathematics – group theory.

7. SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN

---

Srinivasa Ramanujan was a largely self-taught pure mathematician. Hindered by poverty and ill-health, his highly original work considerably enriched number theory and, more recently, physics. He died of hepatic amoebiasis at the age of 32.

8. HEINRICH HERTZ

---

In a series of brilliant experiments Heinrich Hertz discovered radio waves and established that James Clerk Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetism is correct. Hertz also discovered the photoelectric effect, providing one of the first clues to the existence of the quantum world. The unit of frequency, the hertz, is named in his honor.

He died of granulomatosis with polyangiitis, aged 36

9. NICOLAS LÉONARD SADI CARNOT

---

Nicolas Carnot introduced the concepts of the heat engine and the thermodynamic system. He proved that the efficiency of a perfect engine is determined solely by the temperatures of a hotter reservoir and a colder reservoir. His work remained largely unknown until two years after his death, when Émile Clapeyron updated it, inspiring Lord Kelvin and Rudolf Clausius to make tremendous advances in the new science of thermodynamics, introducing the second law of thermodynamics and entropy.
Died of cholera, aged 36

11. NIKOLAI TESLA (July 1856 – 7 January 1943)

---

Nikolai Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.

In the fall of 1937 at the age of 81, after midnight one night, Tesla left the Hotel New Yorker to make his regular commute to the cathedral and library to feed the pigeons. While crossing a street a couple of blocks from the hotel, Tesla was unable to dodge a moving taxicab and was thrown to the ground. His back was severely wrenched and three of his ribs were broken in the accident. The full extent of his injuries was never known; Tesla refused to consult a doctor, an almost lifelong custom, and never fully recovered.

On 7 January 1943, at the age of 86, Tesla died alone in Room 3327 of the Hotel New Yorker

13. NIELS HENRIK ABEL

---

Niels Henrik Abel was a Norwegian mathematician who made pioneering contributions in a variety of fields.

His most famous single result is the first complete proof demonstrating the impossibility of solving the general quintic equation in radicals. This question was one of the outstanding open problems of his day, and had been unresolved for over 250 years. He was also an innovator in the field of elliptic functions, discoverer of Abelian functions. He made his discoveries while living in poverty and died at the age of 26 from tuberculosis.

14. JIMI HENDRIX

---

Born Johnny Allen Hendrix. He was an American rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Although his mainstream career lasted only four years, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential guitarists in history and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century.

For some days prior to his death, Hendrix had been in poor health, in part from fatigue caused by overwork, a chronic lack of sleep, and an assumed influenza-related illness.

The post-mortem examination concluded that Hendrix aspirated on his own vomit and died of asphyxia while intoxicated with barbiturates.

He died at the age of 27.

the truth is that life no balance for anybody.


nothing defines the statement "i dont give a fvck" better than death.


death doesnt give a fvck how hot or gorgeous she is, it doesnt care how brilliant he is, it does care how nice you are. it takes you once you cross the line by accident or intentionally

Yay, see my men

Nicola Tesla is underrated.

Watched Ramanujan some years ago. I felt for the man. He was a genius.

It's a shame, these are the actual great men who have carried humanity, civilisation on there shoulders forward yet they are not given the appreciation they deserved, but musicians are pumped with wealth and followership yet they add nothing to our growth as humans, rather the tend degrade our morals.

Epositive:
Nicola Tesla is underrated.

Very very underrated
