I have always thought like that. math is illogical, being logical. well, I am trying to immitate Bertrand Russell's deception in his study of the reduction of math to formal logic, and when he ended developing the paradox that has his name, disproving himself. Quote "Mathematics is in logic, logically, illogic." and in this site (
http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~...s/Russell.html). this is something on the web about him "In
Principia Mathematica,
Whitehead and Russell were able to provide detailed derivations of many major theorems in set theory, finite and transfinite arithmetic, and elementary
measure theory."
