SKEPTICS
You can out-skeptic the skeptics. Just point out that they usually don't prove their assertions, and that their most revered proofs (i.e., Wiles) are worse than no proof at all. ... 5 Jun 2010 20:13

I feel sorry for the guy. He had unrealistic expectations about getting paid. ... 5 Jun 2010 20:13

Not only possible, but soon to be complete.
Don't you guys know anything? You sit at your keyboards and insult each other, and meanwhile a new and simple proof is being finished. Try looking around you. ... 5 Jun 2010 19:07

A simple proof is actually more likely...
...to be valid than Wiles' purported "proof." If it takes 150 pages to write it, even while omitting most of the steps, then it can't possibly be valid. ... 9 Jun 2010 18:43

Wiles never proved anything about FLT...
...Wiles simply substituted his own conjecture for Fermat's conjecture. Conjecture is not proof. Your mistaken belief in the legend of Dr. Wiles has led you to experience great frustration in this forum. Quit believing in that nonsense. ... 9 Jun 2010 18:43

ever since 1842, the Doppler shift was assumed to exist for lightwaves and never experimentally verified Chapt 8 #138; ATOM TOTALITY
A reader has asked me to not go over 200 posts in a thread as that it is too difficult to retrieve the thread. So I will oblige. Also I had some typo errors of my previous post. --- repeating my post of last night to David and with a few typo errors such as the ommission of the word Doppler in some places ---... 23 Jun 2010 10:37

How small can such a group be?
Suppose G is a group and it contains subgroups isomorphic to A_8 and PSL(3,F_4). How small can G be? If I knew nothing about this problem, I would say we can take |G| <= 20160^2 = 406425600. However, I do know something about it: we can take |G| <= 10200960 because the Mathieu group M_23 works. But that is as far ... 5 Jun 2010 18:01
