Experts found a gap in his proof. Wilis was able to work around the problem. and his revised proof is now accepted by the Mathematical community. I have not read the proof but I am very confident that it is true because the Mathematical community knows how Mathematics is done. Not every subject is as clear cut as mathematics. When Mr. McIntyre said there was a weakness in Mr. Mann's Hockey Stick paper, the equivalent to the gap in Wilis's first proof, experts in the field and journal editors could not comprehend the nature of the challenge and kept asking Mr. McIntyre for a different argument entirely. The gap in Willis's first proof did not mean that Fermat's last theorem was true or false, nor did McIntyre's challenge to the Hockey Stick say that Global Warming was true or false. It was Mr. Mann's argument that was not valid. With the FDA and EPA, people could make good livings studying safety and the resulting tsunami of papers including a lot of garbage. There was a women who used brain scans with lots of ionizing x-rays to investigate the possible harm from the radio radiation, which radiation can have no chemical effect, from cell phones. When good studies showed no harm from Agent Orange or Love Canal and no Gulf War syndrome, activists summarily disregarded that evidence and dogmatically pursued their imaginations. Paul Krudgman is a brilliant guy who, like Peter Orzak, has confidence in the Academic Community. I wish that Mr. Krudgman and others would look into the Breast Implant and Vaccine controversies of recent times. That should tell them that one needs to suspect statements by those in the Academy, especially about heath risks. The work cited by EPA is just plain nonsense.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Andrew Wilis said he proved Fermat’ last theorem in 1993. Experts found a gap in his proof.
