    The paradox at the heart of mathematics: Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem - Marcus du Sautoy

    Explore Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem, a discovery which changed what we know about mathematical proofs and statements.--Consider the following sentence: “This statement is false.” Is that true? If so, that would make the statement false. But if it’s false, then the statement is true. This sentence creates an unsolvable paradox; if it’s not true and it’s not false– what is it? This question led a logician to a discovery that would change mathematics forever. Marcus du Sautoy digs into Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem.Lesson by Marcus du Sautoy, directed by BASA.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-paradox-at-the-heart-of-mathematics-godel-s-incompleteness-theorem-marcus-du-sautoyDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-paradox-at-the-heart-of-mathematics-godel-s-incompleteness-theorem-marcus-du-sautoy#digdeeperAnimator's website: https://basaestudio.com----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!

    Bewildered by recycling? It's not your fault - Shannon Odell

    Dig into the biggest problems facing our current plastic recycling process, and explore potential solutions to these systems. --If you’ve ever looked at the bottom of a disposable bottle or cup, you’ve probably noticed a recycling symbol. Seeing this, many people assume the item should be put in a recycling bin. Yet many plastics are incapable of being recycled at most centers. In fact, only 9% is recycled each year. So why are so few plastics recycled? And what do these symbols actually mean?
