you asked about proving it.

said in short term, you have asked if you can make a turing machine that can say if a generic turing machine can stop.

A good way to understand this problem's category is to understand this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantor%27s_diagonal_argument

Hence, that guy told you to learn the basis of (academical, tbh) IT.
It's the basis of the modern logic, since it is founded over Goedel's theorems+ the Church-Turing one.
