Gödel Moment

We thought the universe spun around us. That is, until Copernicus recognized that, indeed, not only were we not the center of the universe, but that there was no center at all.

The Catholic Church fought against this finding, for it undermined its ontology, one that defined its power.

But, unleashed from that ontology, human creativity was freed to find new truths, truths defined by natural laws, laws that could be described by mathematics.

That is, until Kurt Gödel came along, and with his incompleteness theorems upended the world of mathematics by asserting that an axiom could not prove itself – that there was, indeed, no inherent truth in any mathematical system. David Hilbert's hopes for a grand unifying truth within math were crushed.

A finding that profoundly disrupted, but also one that unleashed the creative imagination of mathematicians, leading the Church's lambda calculus, leading to Lisp, leading to the entire computer age, one built on the foundation of imagination, the potential of unfolding Radical Abstractions.
