Colin leslie dean points out that Godel theorem is the biggest fraud in
mathematical history
everything dean has shown was known at the time godel did his proof but no
one meantioned any of it ie Godels theorem is invalid as it uses invalid
axioms ie axiom of reducibility

http://gamahucherpress.yellowgum.com/books/philosophy/GODEL5.pdf"

look
godel used the 2nd ed of PM he says

“A. Whitehead and B. Russell, Principia Mathematica, 2nd edition,
Cambridge 1925. In particular, we also reckon among the axioms of PM
the
axiom of infinity (in the form: there exist denumerably many individuals),
and the axioms of reducibility
and of choice (for all
types)”

note he says he is going to use AR
but
Russell following wittgenstien took it out of the 2nd ed due to it being
invalid NOTE it was not in the 2nd ed which godel used
godel would have know that
russell and wittgenstien new godel used it but said nothing
ramsey points out AR is invalid before godel did his proof
godel would have know ramseys arguments
ramsey would have known godel used AR but said nothing

Ramsey says

Such an axiom has no place in mathematics, and anything which cannot be
proved without using it cannot be regarded as proved at all.

This axiom there is no reason to suppose true; and if it were true, this
would be a happy accident and not a logical necessity, for it is not a
tautology. (THE FOUNDATIONS OF MATHEMATICS* (1925) by F. P. RAMSEY

every one knew AR was invalid
they all knew godel used it
but nooooooooooooo one said -or has said anything for 76 years untill
dean
the theorem is a fraud the way godel presents it in his proof it is crap

It this a poem?
 
The author appears to be trying to push a thesis that all views are meaningless -- apparently by example, since the paper is an incohesive string of quoted passages, intermixed with the author's misunderstanding of mathematical foundations.

The opening poster appears to be taking it a step further and is trying to start a conspiracy theory.

Of course, this being a mathematics forum (and neither a psychology forum, pseudomathematics forum, nor a conspiracy theory forum), it does not belong here. Thread closed.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
