Is it possible that there's a simple proof of Fermat's Last Theorem that does without 600 pages of elliptical curve gobbletygook?

>> No.9222445

Yes, using Wildbergerian Big Number Theory.

>> No.9222463

No, that's what he meant by too narrow margin

>> No.9222535

I don't know shit about advanced math, but I suppose that sometime in the future there will be a way to write a concise proof of this theorem using more advanced/abstract tools. I think I read somewhere that pretty much anything can be proved using only the Peano axioms, but would require obscenely long developements when a single paragraph of modern analysis or abstract algebra can do it just as well.

>> No.9223059

It's far more likely that Fermat just made a small error in his unpublished proof.

Yes, but you have to already know the elliptical curve mathematics before hand.
