Some of the toughest problems in mathematics went unsolved for long periods of time, only for them to be proven hundreds of years later. Can anything and everything eventually be proven with the right level of ingenuity? Gödel's shocking proofs tells us that there are some statements which just aren't provable, even if they appear to be true.…
We travel back in time to the 1930s to discuss the mathematical landscape which lead to The Halting problem and how a machine constructed as a mental model for a proof defined modern computers.
