The Edge of Logic: Reflections on Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorems
24 june 2025
In the early 20th century, a young Austrian logician named Kurt Gödel did something remarkable. He proved a pair of theorems that would shake the foundations of logic and forever alter how we think about truth. These findings, now known as Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorems, revealed something deeply unsettling: in any reasonable formal system powerful enough to describe basic arithmetic, there will always be true statements that cannot be proven within the system itself.
