Godel's Incompleteness Theorems Wiki
- The first theorem is that No program is capable of proving all the
facts about the natural numbers.
- The second theorem is that If a program can prove some basic facts
about the natural numbers, it can't prove that it is consistent.
- So what does this have to do with Epistemology?
- It means that you can't develop a system that proves everything.
- In essence, we're always stuck with incomplete systems.
- All theories are incomplete.
