Today I want to start a potentially little series of threads about one of my biggest passions🤓...

Gödel's theorems😎

One of the biggest discoveries of all time that I'm sure will blow your mind!!!

I'll structure the series as follows 👇

Today: The history that preceded the theorems

Then: The theorems. Explanation and some common misconceptions

And finally: Shallow overview of the demonstration

So let's start with the history that preceded Gödel's results

It is pretty much the history of math so let's see if we can comprise it in a thread

🧵 😬😬

The study of math as a science started in ancient Greece 🏛

Although math was applied earlier in other ancient civilizations, philosophers like Tales were the first that studied mathematical abstractions like shapes without asking for the practical purpose of that study.

Math started to have its very own questions that only could be answered inside math itself.

Math became a science 📜
