[00:00:00]In 1931, Kurt Gödel shattered mathematical certainty with his incompleteness theorem.

[00:00:06]He constructed a statement that essentially says, "This statement cannot be proven."

[00:00:12]creating a logical paradox that broke mathematics itself.

[00:00:16]If true, mathematics cannot prove it, making the system incomplete.

[00:00:21]If false, mathematics can prove a lie, making it inconsistent.

[00:00:26]Gödel proved that any logical framework powerful enough to handle basic arithmetic must contain truths beyond its own reach.

[00:00:34]Even mathematical certainty has limits.
