But if the abc conjecture is true, Fermat’s theorem is more easily explained.

The clock would address baseball’s most infuriating dead time — hitters wandering away from home plate during an at-bat, as though puzzling about Fermat’s Last Theorem.

Fermat’s last theorem, a riddle put forward by one of history’s great mathematicians, had baffled experts for more than 300 years.

However, “the consequences of it are quite deep and the techniques that we’re using to apply it” to different cases are rooted in earlier work on the Fermat problem, Kedlaya notes.

The mystery was to Darwin what Fermat's Last Theorem was to the 17th Century mathematician Pierre de Fermat, he adds.
