Mathematicians say they've proven the universe can't be a simulation
A team of physicists claims to have killed the simulation hypothesis with math. According to Science Daily, researchers led ...
You will never be able to prove every mathematical truth. For me, this incompleteness theorem, discovered by Kurt Gödel, is one of the most incredible results in mathematics. It may not surprise ...
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 ...
The reticent and relentlessly abstract logician Kurt Gödel might seem an unlikely candidate for popular appreciation. But that’s what Rebecca Goldstein aims for in her new book Incompleteness, an ...
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 ...
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 ...
Scientists at the University of British Columbia Okanagan say they’ve found a mathematical limit that shuts down the Simulation Hypothesis entirely. Drawing on Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, their ...
