Скачать или смотреть The Epic Quest to Prove 1+1=2 — Inside Principia Mathematica

It took three massive volumes, nearly 3,000 pages, a decade of work, and an entirely new logical language… all to prove that 1+1=2. This is the remarkable story of Principia Mathematica—Bertrand Russell and Alfred North Whitehead’s audacious attempt to rebuild mathematics from pure logic, and the paradox that nearly sank it.

From the crisis of foundations at the dawn of the 20th century to Russell’s Paradox, the heroic rescue mission of Principia, Gödel’s shattering incompleteness theorems, and the enduring philosophical question—do we invent math or discover it?—this journey will change the way you see numbers forever.

Whether you’re into logic, philosophy, or just love an epic intellectual adventure, this is the tale of how the simplest equation became one of the most profound.
