At the risk of having to start a philosophy thread, which I wouldn't mind, it's amazing to discover that strictly speaking, even mathematics has problems when it comes to providing indubitable truth. Russell and Whitehead tried to reduce math to logic about a century ago (believng that logic at least got us statements that were impossible to doubt). They failed. Later it was discovered that Arithmetic is incomplete. And things then got really weird. 2+2=4. This is hard to doubt. But the outstanding question in the philosophy of mathematics turns out to be why? The truth of mathematics turns out to be very hard to explain. Fun book about all this:GODEL ESCHER BACH
