Is there a simple, fundamental reason that no two cubes can form a cube and no two hypercubes can form a hypercube when dealing in whole or fractional units?
Why, in simple terms, must we end up with irrational lengths? Could there yet be a short and simple proof?
Well, at least -- thanks to Andrew Wiles, and others (like Nik Katz and Ken Ribet ) -- we do have a proof.

7 年Mrs. Thea. I deplore to say that the probability for Professor Wiles have solved Fermat′s Lats Theorem is slim, due to he mixed the "tail" and "long tail" some twenty years ago a "cardinal error".

7 年The condition n>2, means it must be ok for n<2. There is that trivial problem for which x=y=1 the solution for x^n+x^n=2 for n ∈ R regardless.
