If Ramanujan was on twitter, what would he tweet and how would I find him?
In the meantime, highly recommend reading, “My Search for Ramanujan” by Ken Ono

1/Also, to find Ramanujan, you would have to understand his catnip: a Twitter thread/account that is similar to "Carr's Synopsis", containing 6165 theorems and only terse explanations, thereby motivating him to find his own proofs.

not sure how true this is.."Ramanujan seldom bothered to prove his own theorems"https://twitter.com/alexeyguzey/status/980383203910471680 …

Oh, I am speaking to his younger days when he first became obsessed. And yes, part of what made helping Ramanujan a challenge was R's intuitional leaps; Hardy wanted R to establish as many rigorous proofs as he could to gain credibility.

And also, Hardy had to bring him up to speed with modern mathematics.

(Although, I don't recall whether Hardy was able to.)
