Sorry, it might have been a misleading example. Yet, for me Goedel showed actually the impact of the field equations of Einstein. Still I don't like the narrative of the genius ... It takes a lot of intelligent people to create sth. lasting. Goedel and Einstein contributed a lot to our current understanding of maths and phsysics (as well as a lot of forgotten geniuses).

interfixus has a point as well. If time is relative, you cannot be sure about your statement :)

> Gödel was a child when the theory of relativity was formalized

Relativity does away with the concept of simultaneity. Your statement may be true but unprovable :)
