Re Gödel

Howdy

Re: "Although Goedel has proved that any formal system, such that underlying any scientific area, contains facts that cannot be proved to be false or true using the system itself; so science itself has a limitation in proving facts."

Note however that the unprovable facts that he referred to are mathematical facts not, in general, scientific facts. I.e. he "only" showed that if a system can do a certain amount of arithmetic there are arithmetic statements which can't be shown true or false in that system. It's also worth noting that this doesn't say that we can't decide or prove the truth or falseness about those statements with other systems.
