Gödel's work is right, but useless.
Gödel's incompleteness theorems say that there are
statements that are true but cannot be proven.
For example, the Riemann Hypothesis is -probably-
unprovable. However, the claim "Riemann Hypothesis
is true" might be true. Therefore, Gödel's result
should be rewritten: "there are statements that might be true,
but -probably- cannot be proven true." So, Gödel's result is nothing new,
nothing revolutionary.
