Logician & mathematician
Kurt Gödel
Proved that any consistent system rich enough for arithmetic contains true statements it cannot prove. He starved himself to death, convinced he was being poisoned.
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.
