Freeman Dyson - Godel & science as inexhaustable

In the May 13,
2004 New York Review of Books, Freeman Dyson writes a review of Briane Greene's
book on theoretical physics and string theory, The Fabric of the
Cosmos. Dyson's review discusses several areas beyond the book per
se, including the place of analytic and synthetic in science and the
ramifications of Godel's incompleteness theorems for any hopes of a
"Theory of Everything".
The review is
available here:
I heard of this
review from a recent post on the Foundations of Mathematics [FOM] archives.
I imagine they will discuss the validity and extent of the role of Godel's
theorem's to theoretical physics in more detail there:
