“We show that a Gödel inspired slowly rotating dark-fluid variant of the concordance model resolves this tension…”
Gödel wait what? I thought of him as “only” the logician who killed Hiblert’s dreams and caused people to question the very foundations of mathematics.
Dude then took up physics as a hobby and trolled Einstein by discovering closed time-like curves?
- layer8 1y agoAt the level of what he did, physics is “just” math (finding solutions for Einstein’s general-relativity equations). Also, from Wikipedia: “At age 18 [so around 1924], Gödel joined his brother at the University of Vienna. He had already mastered university-level mathematics. Although initially intending to study theoretical physics [we can assume that’d include an interest in relativity at that time], he also attended courses on mathematics and philosophy.”
