secret_squirrel · 2003-09-05 22:05:34

Whats the name of that theorem that basically states that its impossible for a mathematical language to be proven true..without stepping outside of said language. You know the one they teach at undergrad Maths/Physics level to really f*ck with our heads. Is is something like Goedel? or am I miles off track??? Please help…
