Huh, I had heard a lot about Godel's Incompleteness Theorem, but I never realized that he proved it by turning mathematical statements into unique numbers, thus connecting the study of formal logic into number theory. Brilliant.

It's not really number theory, it's just numbering.

I really liked this video by Veritassium.

I had read that before but I’ve still not looked at how he actually did it.
