I have played around with it from time to time...
I, for one, would rather believe that fermat had a trick or two up his sleeve and solved this thing the clever way...
thoughts?
I play around with taylor series and properties of logarithms... what do you try?

extremely unlikely that Fermat had a valid proof, most probably thought he did but was mistaken. I've messed around with the problem before, mostly trying modular representations and such
i still hold faith that fermat was too based to make a mistake...
there has got to be a simple solution though... that shit seems too simple to require wiles tier math to solve it...
Probably through the Triangle Inequality Theorem he found some sense of a geometric proof as an extension of Pythagoras' Theorem.
it has a relatively simpler proof if you use the abc theorem
triangle inequality sounds like a good approach actually... I have played with expanding the nth root of the equation and seeing what headway I could make...
post it bruh...
soooo you presented someones proof that doesnt work... nice contribution bruh... anything else to add???
Humans make mistakes all the time.
Many seemingly simple statements are very hard to prove.
