Nov 22, 2020 at 21:45 comment added John Baez Yes, that formula has been proved. I gave a talk about that formula the day before yesterday, and a listener raised the question that I'm asking here. Hardy called this formula one of Ramanujan's "least impressive" identities, and the proof goes back to Jacobi. My talk explains the proof, which is actually very pleasant: johncarlosbaez.wordpress.com/2020/11/18/…
