Lost Innocence: “This coming Saturday marks the birthday of the mathematician
Kurt Gödel. Born in what was then Austria, on April 28 1906,
Gödel died in Princeton, New Jersey on January 14 1978, having
developed a paranoia that he was being poisoned and, as a
result, starving himself to death (an altogether odd end for one of
the greatest logicians the world has ever known).

Two years ago, when Time magazine conducted a poll to
determine the 20 most influential thinkers of the 20th century,
Gödel was one of just two mathematicians in the score.” The Guardian
