godel's incompleteness theorems
church 'n' turing's uncomputability proofs
the heisenberg uncertainty principle
non-integrable functions that clearly have a sensible integral (like 1/ln(x))
(similarly, unsolvable dif. eq. that have a simple and sensible numerical solution)
the fact that there are probably irrational numbers that are impossible to describe other than by listing their infinitely many digits
long addition
