I was born in Brno, in the former Austria-Hungarian Empire. In 1924 I enrolled at the University of Vienna. I became interested in logic and was influenced by Hans Hahn, who became my thesis advisor during my graduate studies. I completed my PhD in 1929 on the completeness of first-order logic. The next year I proved my incompleteness theorem and published it the following year in 1931. I moved to Princeton, New Jersey in 1939 to escape service in the German Army. I worked at the Institute for Advanced Studies at Princeton University where I became very good friends with Einstein. I died in 1978 at Princeton because I refused to eat anything except my wife's cooking even when she became comatose: so I died.
A COOL PHILOSOPHY QUESTION: are events in the future real? You might say "NO" because they have not happened yet--or, you might say "YES" (or "no") for whatever reason(s) you may come up with.
PRIZE!: There's no prize.
