Beautiful! Of course, no finite probability could ever prove that no solution exists, but being able to say that the odds of a solution are 10^-31 is, for all practical purposes, a guarantee there is none.
- raverbashing 9y agoWell, having such a probably could indicate that the possible solutions "could" happen from 10^31 What a lot of people don't know is that the theorem was already proven for several expoents before the final solution (including for 3 and some others - and multiples of those cases)
- chronial 9y agoNo, there is a chance of 10^-31 that there is any solution
- tasty_freeze 9y agoThe article doesn't say the odds are 10^-31. It says 10^-31 percent. So really the odds are less than one in 10^33.
