Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem

393 views

No matter how many articles I read on this subject I cannot comprehend how it proves what it proves. I do well with words and rhetorics, philosophy and science – but as soon as you add numbers my mind goes blank. Not very helpful when those fields often rely on equations and models for explanations and proof. I can somewhat understand equations if explained in a simple or cohesive way – but if at all possible analogies or just word-centric explanations would be very helpful.

I recommend the book *Godel’s Proof* by Nagel and Newman, it is probably the closest to ELI5 of that proof that is humanly possible, very easy to understand and short for a book, but thorough enough that you get the idea.
