Instead of trying to duplicate the wealth of information that the Internet has already, here's a few references: Kurt Goedel was a mathematician. His one most famous work, the "conjecture of incompleteness" is described in the pages below: http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/CDMTCS/chaitin/georgia.html http://www.ltcom.lv/~podnieks/gt6.html and a lot of others. You can find a lot of references, by searching for "goedel conjecture" in Google. The spelling (`Goedel' instead of `Godel') was what was wrong if you did search already :-) - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
