godel proved that mathematics is self-contradictory thus he explins all the paradoxs in mathemats ie peterburgh paradox in probablity russsels cantor set theory paradox skolem pardox in axiomativ theory Maths is riddled with self-contradiction and godels showed why with his proof of the inconsuistemcy of math
the mathematician Bunch and the mathmaticians Nagel and Newman state " what godel proved was the lair paradox it is a statements x that says x is not provable Therefore if x is provable it is not provable a contradiction If on the other hand x is not provable the its situation is more complicated. If x says it is not provable and it really is not provable then x is true but not provable. RATHER THAN ACCEPT A SELF-CONTRADICTORY STATEMENT MATHEMATICIANS SETTLE FOR THE SECOND CHOICE"
Dean shows that this leads to the meaninglessness of mathematics at a fundamental level What do you think
