Why isn't there a problem on the foundations of maths in the Mellinium problems?
If there was one which one would it be?

I disagree, you got Godel's theorems wrong. One of the reason I chose mathematics many years ago is because I realized it is the only thing out there that is complete perfection.pivoxa15 said:There can't be absolute perfection can there?
The Millennium problems are seven unsolved mathematical problems that were identified by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000. These problems were chosen based on their significance, difficulty, and potential impact on mathematics and science. While the foundations of mathematics are important, the focus of the Millennium problems is on specific, tangible problems that have yet to be solved.
The foundations of mathematics are the fundamental principles and concepts that underlie all of mathematics. The Millennium problems, on the other hand, are specific problems that exist within the already established foundations of mathematics. While the foundations are important for understanding and advancing mathematics, they do not dictate or limit the types of problems that can be studied.
There are certainly connections between the foundations of mathematics and the Millennium problems. The foundations provide the framework for understanding and approaching the problems, while the problems can also inform and advance our understanding of the foundations. However, the two are distinct and have different focuses and objectives.
The Millennium problems are not necessarily considered more important than the foundations of mathematics. They are simply different in their scope and purpose. The Millennium problems are specific, challenging problems that have significant implications for mathematics and science, while the foundations provide the framework for understanding and advancing all of mathematics.
No, the foundations of mathematics cannot be "solved" in the same way that the Millennium problems can be solved. The foundations are an ongoing and evolving area of study and research, while the Millennium problems are specific, well-defined problems that can be solved within the established foundations of mathematics. However, advancements and solutions in the Millennium problems can certainly contribute to our understanding and development of the foundations of mathematics.
