Answer
Kurt Gödel presented his incompleteness theorems at the University of Vienna in 1931. Theorems showed that any consistent system of axioms capable of modelling basic arithmetic is either incomplete or inconsistent. This had a profound impact on the foundations of mathematics, and led to the development of new areas of research such as recursion theory and proof theory.
