Great mathematician of the time, decided to move to the United States in 1933, appalled by the increasing spread of Nazism. Then he took the American citizenship and taught at Princeton until his death. It was a great friend of Einstein, also a guest of the same university. Like many mathematicians, advanced age, he had mental problems that led him, in his case, to be affected by ipoconrismo. His fear of being poisoned by secret agents led to his death when his wife, forced to the hospital, could not prepare his food for months. She left the hospital a few months after the starvation death of her husband. Kurt Gödel is best remembered for his two incompleteness theorems.
