It is as much a fact that Euclid’s theorem asserting that there is no greatest prime number, or equivalently, that there is an infinity of prime numbers. I can prove it to you, when you want. Or you can read Gödel’s 1931 paper, or Davis’s Dover Book “Computability and Unsolvability”, which proves this by the usual method (using Kleene’s predicate( instead of Gödel "prove(x,y)”), and the Turing machine formalism.
