The Thing Computers Can Never Solve

In 1936 — before computers existed — Alan Turing proved there are things no computer can ever solve. Not because they're too hard. Because it's mathematically impossible. This video explains the Halting Problem: what it is, how Turing proved it with one of the most elegant proofs in mathematics, and why it still limits every piece of software ever written. We also connect it to Gödel's incompleteness theorems — two discoveries, five years apart, pointing at the same fundamental wall.
