3Other alternatives to ZFC have been also explored such as Russell’s type theory, or Quine’s new foundations. They are rarely considered in modern set theory. 4Indeed, G odel’s incompleteness theorem says that it’s hopeless to try and axiomatize all true sentences about the natural numbers. It is similarly hopeless to try and axiomatize all
