Russell Paradox destroyed the hope for establishing a true philosophy of mathematics grounded on its foundation. This was argued by Reuben Hersh that this idea “showed that intuitive logic is riskier than classical mathematics, for it led to contradictions in a way that never happens in arithmetic or geometry.” P148 of What is Mathematics, Really?, Oxford University Press, 1997. Set theory became complicated. It needed new axioms. One of these is the axiom of infinity. However, axiom of infinity is not enough to patch up set theory and be identified with logic in the philosophical sense as rules for correct reasoning.
On the other hand, Russell paradox indirectly but prioritized a demand that a quantum theory of the space-time continuum necessarily requires at the least eight directional invariance properties in order to describe physical reality and its concepts of quantum field, of mass, of energy, of force, of three spatial dimensions, and of one time dimension. Unavoidably, most effective physical laws incorporate some or all of these physical concepts. It is now imperative that a physical theory of quantized space-time must ultimately explicates these concepts using all or some of these eight directional invariance properties. Their topologies are equivalent to Möbius topology.
