Re: Gödel
I'm actually going to start a string on the Books/Sw board about the book Goedel, Escher, Bach: An etneral golden braid. A wonderful book. That is the summary I have for the main point of the book. Another point is that I believe it was Edward G. Land (the inventor of the polaroid camera) who said that you don't really understand anything if you can't explain to a 10 year old. (I think he said 5 year old, but I think he's brigther than I am). That post would be how I would explain Godel's theroem to a 10 year old. I wish I started a new thread on all this, since I think it's fun stuff to talk about and will be buried.
