Similarly, the */truth/* of "9 is not prime" implies the existence of a factor of 9 besides 1 and 9.That position was defensible before Godel, but not after. He showed mathematical truth cannot be based on axioms.
But he didn't show it could be based on something else. Brent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
