Which mathematician's incompleteness theorems shook logic in 1931?

  • Kurt Godel
  • David Hilbert
  • Bertrand Russell

The answer is Kurt Godel. Godel — some truths cannot be proved.

Kurt Gödel

Kurt Friedrich Gödel was a logician, mathematician, cosmologist, and philosopher. Considered along with Aristotle and Gottlob Frege to be one of the most significant logicians in history, Gödel profoundly influenced scientific and philosophical thinking in the 20th century, building on earlier work by Frege, Richard Dedekind, and Georg Cantor.
