One of the ways in which it is different is that it is dealing with logical uncertainty, which has not yet received a conclusive formulation, as far as I'm aware.

ETA: Actually, I misread the OP. It talks about whether X will be proven, not whether it can be proven. So it's not logical uncertainty. Retracting.
