| | Modern mathematics is enormously complicated and sophisticated. It takes some courage, and perhaps some foolishness, to dare to suggest that behind the fancy theories lie serious logical gaps, and indeed error. But this is the unfortunate reality. Around the corner, however, is a new and more beautiful mathematics, a more honest mathematics, in which everything...

| I will give a proof of the measurable section theorem, also known as measurable selection. Given a complete probability space $latex {(\Omega,\mathcal F,{\mathbb P})}&fg=000000$, we denote the projection from $latex {\Omega\times{\mathbb R}}&fg=000000$ by $latex \displaystyle \setlength\arraycolsep{2pt} \begin{array}{rl} &\displaystyle\pi_\Omega\colon \Omega\times{\mathbb R}\rightarrow\Omega,\smallskip\\ &\displaystyle\pi_\Omega(\omega,t)=\omega. \end{array} &fg=000000$ By definition, if $latex {S\subseteq\Omega\times{\mathbb R}}&fg=000000$ then, for every $latex {\omega\in\pi_\Omega(S)}&fg=000000$, there...
