Abstract: Abstract Can contradictions exist in mathematics? That is, insoluble contradictions? In this, the most exact of the sciences, is not every statement either true or false, quite independent of all personal opinions, points of view, or other influences? Is it possible to prove a proposition and also at the same time its negation?
