An Intuitively Complete Analysis of Godel's Incompleteness

A detailed and rigorous analysis of Gödel's proof of his first incompleteness theorem is presented. The purpose of this analysis is two-fold. The first is to reveal what Gödel actually proved to provide a clear and solid foundation upon which to base future research. The second is to construct a coherent explication of Gödel's proof that is not only approachable by the non-specialist, but also brings to light the core principles underlying Gödel's proof.

Algorithm that Solves 3-SAT in Polynomial Time

The question of whether the complexity class P is equal to the complexity class NP has been a seemingly intractable problem for over 4 decades. It has been clear that if an algorithm existed that would solve the problems in the NP class in polynomial time then P would equal NP. However, no one has yet been able to create that algorithm or to successfully prove that such an algorithm cannot exist. The algorithm that will be presented in this paper solves the 3-satisfiability or 3-CNF-SAT problem, which has been proven to be NP-complete.
