👉 The "Gone Math" refers to the set of mathematical theorems and proofs that were widely accepted in the early 20th century but later found to be flawed or inconsistent, particularly within the framework of non-standard analysis and certain branches of mathematical logic. Notably, Kurt Gödel's incompleteness theorems and the discovery of Russell's paradox shook foundational assumptions in mathematics, leading to a reevaluation of previously accepted results. For instance, the theorem that every consistent formal system capable of expressing basic arithmetic is either incomplete or inconsistent (Gödel's First Incompleteness Theorem) and the paradoxical nature of naive set theory (Russell's Paradox) challenged the notion that mathematics could be entirely rigorous and self-contained. These developments, collectively known as the "Gone Math," highlighted the limitations and complexities inherent in mathematical reasoning, prompting a shift towards more robust foundations and alternative approaches to understanding mathematical truth.
