Goedal was famously misunderstood (at least according to a book I
read recently). He did not believe that his work proved that the
universe is ultimately unknowable. In fact he was basically a
platonist. He firmly believed that there was truth "out there". While
at Princeton he was close with only one man, Einstein. They shared a
belief in the existence of an ultimate truth. Like Goedel, Einstein
was in the ironic position of being credited with the notion that
everything was relative when in fact his theories despite their
unfortunate names proved (or he hoped they proved) the exact
opposite. Einstein of course abhored quantum physics because of it
inherent probablistic nature.
Which book was that? Just wondering.
