Exploring the possibilities of unfamiliar artefacts and perceptual technologies, the incompleteness theorem promises to distract and disorientate in the service of a feedback system of mirrors, lights ...

In his last years, Albert Einstein was fond of saying that he went to his office on the Princeton University campus only for the privilege of walking home with Kurt Gödel. Among the foremost ...

Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem, which proved that no formal mathematical system can demonstrate every mathematical truth, is a landmark of modern thought. It's a simple but profound statement, but the ...

At 24, Kurt Gödel established himself as perhaps the greatest logician of the 20th century. Standing against the intellectual currents of his time, he unveiled two theorems in 1930 showing that a ...

I’d like to add another interesting synthesis of logic and faith to Mike Kerrigan’s “God and Math at Dinner” (op-ed, Jan. 5). Gödel’s incompleteness theorems prove that certain mathematical methods ...

A provocative contribution to the logic of science extends the theorems of Kurt Gödel and Alan Turing, and bears on thinking about prediction, the standard model of particles, and quantum gravity.
