Two billion dollars will buy you 2 minutes with a senator, 10 minutes with his call girl, and a 30 minute limo ride out of town complete with a police escort....all at the same time!

Sloppy Code works just as well as "Tuxedo Code" i.e. refactored code......

The fact is I don't want just anyone to review my proof anymore. I've been down that road already and all the comments here have just confirmed my desire to remain selective. When I try to discuss my proof, with supposed mathematically trained people, and I try to draw out any criticism, I get that 'deer in the headlight' look. My proof seems to disarm people as all the usual number theory arguments are not applicable. I use simple arithmetic that does not need any prime number intricacies so any argument must be based on a criticism of the fundamentals of mathematics.

Good Advice!

Why is it you people think I'm some sort of mathematical infomercial. I'm selling nothing. I've read about Andrew Wiles account of his proof as he was afraid of all those peaceful, honest, decent, mathematicians stealing all of his work. You have confirmed that fear. I'm in no hurry. Since I pass by the Mathematica building frequently I just thought I would submit a question. That's all.

Five years ago arXiv wouldn't post my proof unless I had an academic email. Maybe they changed that policy since then. I'll take another look. They did allow me to create an account but when I tried to post anything they wouldn't allow it without an academic email which they said must be verifiable. The trouble with something new is that most people in academia believe that all inspiration comes from intellectual rigour. When inspiration comes from 'enlightenment' those who spend all their waking hours driving around in circles, with their turn signal blinking in the wrong direction, turn hostile by calling everyone a crackpot. I call it 'mathematical road rage'.

Whenever I show my proof to anyone I direct people to my Google Drive account. But I never considered the free Google Sites. What really pissed me off was the arXiv site requiring an academic email to post anything. Its like the old joke that to get a job you need to be in the union, but the only way to get into a union is to have a job. It's been about 5 years since all of this came about. And since then, every so often, I'll try to get a definitive answer.

My hesitation has always been whether I should just explore the implications of the proof myself, since it combines elements of arithmetic in a novel juxtaposition that have never been thought of before, or at least I think it is unique. I suffer from the same weakness as everyone else and covet the 'credit' if it is truely a valid and useful proof.

I'm not interested in showing anyone up. I'm just looking for an honest assessment. I have a sister with 7 academic degrees and I wouldn't trust her with my grocery list. I found out that there are a lot more of her type in academia and they all seem to arouse an instant feeling of foreboding in me.

Yes I do. But I have already applied my proof in other areas of mathematics and I'm content to let this unfold as it will. I also see a lot of 'red flags' in those struggling to resolve the paradox. How hard can it be to tell me if a two page proof is full of 'crap'? People see Fermat's Last Theorem and instantly I'm a crackpot.

I've tried to post to arXiv.org but they demand an academic email address. I went to college back when all the computer terminals where hooked up to the mainframe using acoustic coupler modems. Someday I'll show it to someone I trust who hasn't turned their coke bottle eye glasses inside out. I've already sent it to Princeton's Annals of Mathematics who sent me a reply some months later saying that my proof was unsuitable for publication. I just wanted to know if my proof had some validity? Since then I have showed it to a friend of my brother's who has a Phd in physics and works at the JPL lab in Pasadena Ca. He couldn't tell me if my proof was right or wrong. Oh well, time marches on.........

I discovered a very simple proof of Fermat's Last Theorem but every PHD genius I have shown it to have said that they cannot verify that it is absolutely correct. Yet they don't deny that the resulting mathematics shows an irresolvable paradox of basic arithmetic. It seems everyone wants a 'trophy proof' in excess of a billion pages (my proof is two pages) to wave around to the fawning mathematical community. I've lost all regard for the 'academic industry' for it seems to be populated with 'mathematical hieroglyphic' snobs. Any thoughts?

Albert Einstein designed his own refrigerator..... "The Einstein–Szilard or Einstein refrigerator is an absorption refrigerator which has no moving parts, operates at constant pressure, and requires only a heat source to operate. It was jointly invented in 1926 by Albert Einstein and his former student Leó Szilárd and patented in the US on November 11, 1930 (U.S. Patent 1,781,541). This is an alternative design from the original invention of 1922 by the Swedish inventors Baltzar von Platen and Carl Munters." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E...
