FLT is usually taken to be equivalent to Fermat's conjecture that a n-dimensional pseudo-cube
can for n>2 not be split into two n-dimensional pseudo-cubes whereas according to Pythagoras'
Theorem a square can be split into two squares. Translation of this proposition into an arithmetic
expression obviously is a matter of analytic geometry which at the beginning of the 17th century was conceptualized by Rene Descartes and to which Fermat was an early contributor. Fermat's original
conjecture may not actually be a number-theoretic proposition at all. Is it conceivable that the world's
mathematics adepts are barking up the wrong truee? I have described the consequences of the
geometric interpretation in http://terhardt.userweb.mwn.de/ter/misc/fltissues.html
