Godel's Theorem

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses Godel's theory on mathematical truths as being that they cannot be found in any set of axioms or rules and ultimate truth cannot be achieved. The paper suggests that Kurt Godel's incompleteness theorem encompasses the fact that all formal systems turn out to be incomplete by their very nature and it discusses the implications of this theory.

From the Paper:

"Godel stated that there can be no proof of any statement (P). If P is true, there is no proof of it. If P is false, there is a proof that P is true. This is a contradiction. It cannot be decided whether P is true in a symbolic system."
