Abstract
However things aren’t just as simple, for the specter of undecidability and incompleteness, which was unknown and, we may say, unsuspected in 1900, raises its head.

Notes
- 1.
In the AMS 1976 translation.
- 2.
Also, we may uncover unusual interpretations, who knows?
- 3.
Of course Einstein himself contributed to the early formulations of quantum mechanics.
- 4.
A partial answer, but one that encompasses all kinds of time-dependent physics.
- 5.
Of course we can consider unsound or even inconsistent theories. This is just a starting point.
- 6.
This is the actual way most courses in theoretical physics are taught.
- 7.
“The Principles of Mechanics Presented in a New Form.”
- 8.
Said to have been Richard Palais.
- 9.
We will proceed in an informal way, and leave to the archetypical interested reader the toil and trouble of translating everything that we have done into a fully formal, rigorous, treatment of our presentation.
