Gödel incompleteness and the empirical sciences
pp. 443-460
Abstract
We show how widespread are metamathematical phenomena in mathematics and in the sciences which rely on mathematics. We will consider specific examples of undecidable sentences in mathematics, physics and economics. Our presentation is informal; rigorous developments can be found in the references.
