I was thinking something along similar lines. Hawking had a lecture[1] regarding Godel, which indicate incomplete or inconsistent models of systems. What we may think as inconsistent is probably an incomplete model. Or as Hawking addressed in the lecture: " According to the positivist philosophy of science, a physical theory is a mathematical model. So if there are mathematical results that can not be proved, there are physical problems that can not be predicted."
