That's old research. Read my blog and you can see the argument given
more simply with quadratics anyway.

Just about everything is on my math blog, explained several times, in
different ways.

Lots on the blog.

Hey, I'm actively researching. For some freaking reason posting helps
me to figure out new stuff.

This quadratic residue result is just freaking incredible.

It just gets bigger and bigger and bigger.

You want me to worry about old research like my proof of Fermat's Last
Theorem to take a break from this exciting new research??!!!

Yeah, like that's going to happen.

FLT is old news for me. I've had the proof for years. I'm into new
things now.

Hey, good quote. It is kind of telling when it takes a lot of people
talking about social stuff, especially in mathematics, to try and block
one person.

But, of course, Einstein wasn't a mathematician. He was a great
physicist.

He got help for a lot of his complicated math stuff, in the general
theory of relativity from a math grad student.

Mathematicians have often helped people out in other fields, where the
ideas were generated by someone who didn't quite know all the
mathematics necessary to fully mathematicize it.

Einstein is a good example--he really had a time with Riemannian
geometry.

But my favorite example is Michael Faraday as he didn't know a lick of
mathematics.

Figured out the laws of electrodynamics imagining playing with rubber
bands.

Now that is awesome.
