The Wonders of Arithmetic from Pierre Simon de Fermat - страница 26

Despite the fact that with his proof of the “Basic Theorem of Algebra” Gauss supported Euler in promoting his idea of using “complex numbers”, he did not find any other opportunities for progress in this direction. And what Euler showed, he was also not impressed. Moreover, even modern science at all can nothing offer anything on the use of “complex numbers”. But the sea of all kinds of “scientific” works, studies and textbooks on this theme is clearly inadequate with its true value. Gauss felt that something was amiss with these “numbers” and that it would not end well, therefore in that direction he did not work.

Thunder struck in 1847 when at a meeting of members of the French Academy of Sciences Gabriel Lame and Augustin Cauchy reported that their FLT proofs was ready for consideration at the competition. However, when in order to identify the winner, it was already possible to open received from them the sealed envelopes, the German mathematician Ernst Kummer having put all scientists on the sinful earth. In his letter it was reported that the FLT proof on the basis of “complex numbers” is impossible due to the ambiguity of their decomposition into prime factors.17

Here you have got what you want! These very “complex numbers” are not any numbers!!! And one could notice finally, after arithmetic was knocked from under science, it hangs in the air having no solid foundation. And the mistakes of the greats in their consequences are also extreme and they begin to break down a science so much that, instead of a holistic system of knowledge, it creates a bunch of unrelated fragments.

If it so happened, then else in 1847, these very “Complex numbers” had to be solemnly buried with all the honors. But with this matter somehow did not work out at all and the restless souls of the long-dead theories turn out to be so tenacious that they cannot be expelled from textbooks and professorial lectures by any means. They will wander through different books and reference books whose authors will be completely unaware of how much their works depreciates from this useless ballast.

In the mentioned book of Singh is well shown as the ambiguity of decomposing compound integers into prime factors makes it impossible to construct logical conclusions in proofs and it also was said that the unambiguity theorem for such a decomposing for natural numbers was given in “Euclidean Elements”. The specific book and location of the theorem is not specified; therefore, it is rather difficult to find the necessary text, but it really turned out to be so.18

“Euclidean Elements" is a very old book with archaic terminology, in which this extremely important for science theorem was somehow lost and it was simply forgotten about it. The first to discover the loss was Gauss. He formulated it again and gave proof, which contained a surprisingly simple and even childish error, where as an argument used exactly what needs to be proven (see pt. 3.3.1).

But this is not an ordinary theorem, all science holds on it! And what about Euclid? Oh my God! In fact, his proof is the same as that of Gauss i.e. wrong!!! Tell it to someone, so they will not believe! Three giants of science are stumbled on the same place!

Then it turns out that this whole science is fake and now, thanks to Singh’s book and despite all the good intentions of its author, this terrifying FLT, which now even in theory has become completely unprovable, was so furious that like a true monster, in one fell swoop have devalued all the age-old works of scientists! And yet they live in not fabulous, but in the real kingdom of crooked mirrors, what about they themselves don’t know anything.
