 We should not forget "Srinivasa Ramanujan", (1887-1920) an Englishman 
 would say "was a mathematician so great that his name transcends 
 jealousies, the one superlatively great mathematician whom India has 
 produced in the last thousand years."  A black vegetarian Indian from
 Kumbakonam, who grew up praying to stone deities, whose family goddess 
 to whom he purported his mathematical insights were owed.  And without
 whom we would have no inkling of polymer chemistry, or the concepts and 
 proofs of infinity; every programmer or computer operator in the world
 who ever has used the word "partition" has Ramanujan to thank. 
 
 His independent recreation of the Riemann _zeta_ functions _INTUITIVELY_ 
 have never before or since been accomplished by any human being.  Arguably, 
 Ramanujan had a mind versed in analytic abstraction greater than any other 
 living being in the Universe of which we know.  No white man has ever come
 anywhere close to this, not even close!  
 
... Has the Riemann hypothesis been proved?
