In today\u2019s ID the Future<\/strong>, we\u2019re pleased to feature a cross-post from our sister site, Mind Matters<\/a>. Here host Robert J. Marks begins a conversation with trailblazing mathematician and computer scientist Gregory Chaitin. The two discuss Chaitin\u2019s beginnings in computer science, his growing up in the 1960s a stone\u2019s throw from Central Park, his thoughts on historic scientists in his field such as Leonard Euler and Kurt G\u00f6del, and the story of Chaitin\u2019s cold calling the famed German-Austrian logician, mathematician, and philosopher, and how a snowstorm and G\u00f6del\u2019s quirky personality thwarted a meeting. Also touched on: G\u00f6del\u2019s ontological proof for the existence of God and how children can be said to have solved Chaitin\u2019s incompleteness problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
