So if you Gödelized the universe - mapped every conceivable state to a number (proving that that is possible left as an exercise for the reader) - then created mathematical operations on those numbers that transitioned the universe from one state to another &#x27;physically possible&#x27; successor state.. I guess Gödel would be able to give you a number representing a universe such that you could not prove whether its state was possible or not?<p>Then all you have to do is demonstrate that we live in such a universe, and all the philosophers can retire because we&#x27;ve found the ultimate answer to the ultimate question.<p>I think we all know exactly what the Gödel number for our universe would be...
