5 Quotes by Mike Hockney about math

    If you go around saying that something must be falsifiable, you are saying that it must be false since, by definition, nothing true can be falsifiable. The whole task of truthfully explaining reality is to arrive at rational positions that are 100% unfalsifiable (hence non-scientific). Mathematics is what lies behind science and is unfalsifiable.

    Gödel’s scheme has nothing to do with mathematics in and of itself. It concerns false approaches (i.e. non-ontological approaches) to the definition of what math is. The incompleteness theorems proved that such approaches are doomed to failure. Gödel didn’t prove a single thing about what math is. What he proved is what’s it’s not. He proved that it definitely isn’t manmade.
