2. There's no right answer |
|
If the correct answer is "true," then it's false. If the answer is "false," then it's true.

11. Bold-face emphasis is mine... |
|
In 1931, the Czech-born mathematician Kurt Gödel demonstrated that within any given branch of mathematics, there would always be some propositions that couldn't be proven either true or false using the rules and axioms ... of that mathematical branch itself. You might be able to prove every conceivable statement about numbers within a system by going outside the system in order to come up with new rules and axioms, but by doing so you'll only create a larger system with its own unprovable statements. The implication is that all logical system of any complexity are, by definition, incomplete; each of them contains, at any given time, more true statements than it can possibly prove according to its own defining set of rules.
Gödel's Theorem has been used to argue that a computer can never be as smart as a human being because the extent of its knowledge is limited by a fixed set of axioms, whereas people can discover unexpected truths ... It plays a part in modern linguistic theories, which emphasize the power of language to come up with new ways to express ideas. And it has been taken to imply that you'll never entirely understand yourself, since your mind, like any other closed system, can only be sure of what it knows about itself by relying on what it knows about itself.

Not 'true' or 'false' it should be 'good' or 'evil'? Why do you hate America? :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

10. you sound like my mother@#$#@#%#@#%#@%#$#@@ teacher |
|
at school.
he makes up these @#$%@#@@$%&^$%$%$#@@%$^%$@#$@#@@% true false tests by taking one sentence from each paragraph and changing the words. So what if there is a contradiction in the next paragraph or an exception, it doesn't matter. Plus he doesn't have a great grip on the english language so after the test there are always question where the whole class got them right and HE is wrong, but he won't $#%^@%#@ admit it and give us credit for the questions.
thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

What question? See, the thing about questions is that they end with QUESTION MARKS! This thing --->? That's a question mark. I see no question.
I abstain.
