ie. If the page says “this page is blank” it’s not blank so it’s false.

But if the page is actually blank, it can’t prove it’s blank because nothing is on it.

=> Incompleteness

(obviously massive oversimplification but thought it might be a nice metaphor to show the basic logic behind the proof)
