Don't know why, but to me there is little that I find more interesting than axiomes in math. ZFC / Peano always fascinated me, especially in the light of Gödels

- Koshkin 2y agoIndeed - whatever the axioms, the natural numbers will forever remain a mystery.
- culi 2y agoGödel's incompleteness theorems have given mathematicians an identity crisis for nearly a century now. I think it leads to a healthier view of mathematics in the end. Imo, it's healthy to realize that math is just an attempt at abstracting observed patterns in a way that can be extended and studied and not some fundamental principle of the universe itself
