Comment on So much...
euclidean geometry is famously complete
Nah.
this doesn’t mean that “it’s impossible to create any consistent set of math statements that completely describes everything,”
It says far less than that: “It’s impossible for a mathematical system containing the natural numbers to be both complete and consistent.”
Reality has almost nothing to do with it.
reality itself could be a complete system, understandable from both the outside and inside if only viewed at the right angle…
This has been largely debunked.
hilbert’s dream is not dead yet,
I dunno what his dream was, but Hilbert’s program is very much dead.
