*Godel discovered that truth is a bigger category than provability, but he
didn't think that meant some things were unknowable because he didn't
believe the human mind was trapped in just one single logical system, he
thought we could jump out of one system and climb onto an infinite ladder
of more comprehensive systems. The trouble is no logical system powerful
enough to perform arithmetic can prove its own consistency; so if we keep
climbing that infinite ladder as Godel suggested then there will come a
time when we "prove" something and thus be absolutely positively 100%
certain it is true, and still be dead wrong.  And according to the
"principle of explosion"  if a logical system contains just one single
contradiction then you can prove anything, you can prove that both X and
not X are true, and thus the entire system becomes useless. John K Clark*
