Comments by "David Terr" (@dcterr1) on "Math's Fundamental Flaw" video.
I for one do not believe that the twin prime conjecture is undecidable, especially since it seems so obviously true that we even have a precise formula to estimate the number of twin primes up to a given bound. However, the Riemann hypothesis may be undecidable.

Wow, this has got to be the most fascinating math video I've seen! Great job!

I find it fascinating that Godel's incompleteness theorem and Turing's proof of undecidability, while demonstrating the fundamental limitations of mathematics, nevertheless spawned a revolution which has led to so much progress! The same can be said of quantum mechanics.

I'm by no means an expert on set theory, but nevertheless I'm skeptical about the conviction most set theorists seem to have that there is a "correct" version of set theory, in which the continuum hypothesis or the generalized continuum hypothesis is necessarily either true or false (from what I hear, mainly considered to be false). I believe the situation is analogous to that of Euclidean geometry versus non-Euclidean geometries, none of which is "correct", but each of which has its own domain of utility.
