Kurt Gödel (1906-7was considered the maddest of all mathematicians that ever lived. His legacy was his incompleteness theorems which were proved in 1931. These asserted the axiomatic limit of foundational mathematics. For one of these two theorems, he developed a numbering system which coded formal expressions as natural numbers. Moreover, he showed that the continuum hypothesis cannot be disproved from the accepted consistent axioms of set theory.
In his later years, Gödel’s mental instability and illness made him an obsessive fear of being poisoned and eat less and less, becoming a living corpse. When his wife was hospitalized for 6 months and stopped tasting his food, Gödel starved to death. He would rather eat numbers without substance than food with illegal substances.

numerical madness
Time independence: [∂E(g)]˛=[∂F(a)×∂r(a)]·[∂F(b)×∂r(b)] and Mass independence: ¶a(t)·¶r(t)=c˛

Re: numerical madness No doubt his obsession with numbers drove him mad,he did
so however leave something behind that is still remembered
long after he has passed away,will we still be remembered
long after we have passed?

Re: numerical madness
Does remembering require a certain madness of thinking?

Re: numerical madness
What about madness of not thinking at all? Actions without thinking. Do first ask question later.

Re: numerical madness
I wonder how brainless worms ever evolve into brainy scientists studying these brainless worms just wondering in circle.

Re: numerical madness
What's a few billions years compare to eternity?
