Alfred Eisenstadt, NYC, 1988 -by Abe Frajndlich [+]

The saga began in 1988 when Peter Howe, the picture editor at Life magazine at the time, asked me to photograph the “Grandes Dames of Photography,” influential figures like Berenice Abbot, Barbara Morgan, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, and Ruth Bernhard. In the middle of the shootings I began to feel that Howe was exercising reverse sexism, by excluding the “old boys,” and so he gave me a green light to photograph Aaron Siskind, Harry Callahan, Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Andreas Feininger, Alfred Eisenstadt, and others; and I was on my way.

Kurt Gödel por Alfred Eisenstaedt, 1962

Austrian mathematician Kurt Gödel was born April 28, 1906 (d. 1978) - his major contribution to logic and mathematical philosophy - more specifically, set theory - came at the tender age of 25 when he formulated his incompleteness theorems.

Basically put:

Any effectively generated theory capable of expressing elementary arithmetic cannot be both consistent and complete. In particular, for any consistent, effectively generated formal theory that proves certain basic arithmetic truths, there is an arithmetical statement that is true, but not provable in the theory.

Or:
“Gödel found a hole in the center of mathematics”
