Awhile back I called attention to
what seemed to me to be an incorrect
formulation of Godel's Theorem
by Freeman Dyson in the "New York
Review of Books." The application
he claimed for physical theory seemed
wrong as well. I was hoping by
quoting some of Dyson's passages to
stimulate some reaction, which if I
remember correctly, pretty much
failed.
In a letter to the NY Rev. of Bks,
July 15, p. 61, Solomon Feferman
discusses Dyson's statements. I
hope Feferman's comments may
now provoke discussion. (I refrain
from quoting this time around.)
