No, because humanity has overcome bullshit Aristotelian physics. Godel's plan was much more sinister. Rather than suggest a demonstrably false mechanism of action for reality, he sowed a seed of doubt that our mathematics was not powerful enough to be trusted. That the god that man created was not omniscient.

Shit blew my mind

>Nothing you say makes really any sense. You talk about "convergence of a function" which simply does not exist.
>Convergence is about having a SERIES
The function IS the series
If the series converges the function is defined, or rather, the function converges
Do you even know why [math]f(x)=\sum _{n=0}^{\infty}x^n[/math] is only canonically defined for |x| < 1 whereas [math]g(x) = \sum _{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{f^{\left(n\right)}\left(0\right)x^n}{n!}[/math] is defined for all x?
I guess this is fucking amateur hour.

I'd prove these trivialities to you but you're not paying me, so you can fuck off instead.

careful there, lad

Literally what's the purpose? This is why normies think math is fucking useless, because we make them memorize operations of arbitrary values rather than constructing a core understanding of these operations. This is why linear algebra and complex numbers seem like to overly esoteric, useless jargon to young people. Fuck you.
