Wow! that's a mathematical giant right there. In 1905 an obscure employee of a patent office in Germany Einstein shook the foundation of physics, based on the accepted conventional foundation conceived by Newton who is at least the # 3 ATG mathematician. when he published his special theory of relativity which astoundingly declare that e=mc^2.
In 1931, an obscure mathematician Godel (the o is the german letter with dual dots over hence it is pronounced as gordel) in Germany shook the foundation of mathematics, which has just recently been repaired by many mathematicians among the notable of which is Bertrand Russell (yes the same russell many atheists here idloize) after some serious doubts about it's logical foundation, when he published his incompleteness principle which says, "there are problems that are unsolvable".
Einstein and Godel both escaped nazi germany and both went to Princeton where they became good friends. The older Einstein who rarely invited people to his home, invited Gordel many times and they were fond of walking together in the university.
Godel derived from Einstein general relativity's field equation the so called Godel Metric which says that space time curvature is closed (circular) so there is no earlier or later and that the universe is rotating.
It was proven later that the universe is expanding and not rotating but there maybe regions in the universe with closed space-time.
I wanted to write more but I want to drink beer hehe.
