Abstract	This theoretical research paper explores the convergence of mathematical incompleteness, astrophysical paradoxes, and absurdist literature through the unifying lens of existential uncertainty. It draws from Kurt Gödel's incompleteness theorems, the Fermi paradox and black hole information theory, and Samuel Beckett's absurdist play Waiting for Godot to propose a structural and philosophical unity among systems that resist closure, coherence, or complete understanding. The paper argues that the limits of formal logic, the cosmic silence in astrophysics, and the absurdist breakdown of narrative meaning reflect a deeper ontological condition: a universe where meaning is eternally sought but never guaranteed. This framework aims to construct a bridge between logic, cosmology, and literary philosophy, revealing absurdity not as chaos but as an inherent structure of being. The findings suggest a new literary-scientific paradigm: that incompleteness is not an anomaly, but the architecture of reality itself.
