    A quantity is a quantity, seems like numbers just don't cut it

    From your link, a cube can apparentlty by devided into two cubes, that is not possible yet can be proven mathematically

    A cube cannot be partitioned in this way, that is exactly what Fermat's Last Theorem states (when considering cubes n = 3, therefore n > 2) and it is mathematically proven to be impossible. I think you misread?

    Possibly, but I think you misunderstood, read again

    Which bit? From "my link":
    It is impossible to separate a cube into two cubes, or a biquadrate into two biquadrates, or in general any power higher than the second into two powers of the like degree; I have discovered a truly remarkable proof which this margin is too small to contain.

    For the "biquadrate" (fourth power) case, Fermat's earlier assertion is sufficient to imply the later one: if two fourth powers cannot sum to a perfect square, they cannot sum to a fourth power either (since any fourth power, say w4, is also a perfect square, namely, the square whose side measures w2). But Fermat was asserting much more. In modern notation Fermat's assertion – known to mathematicians as Fermat's last theorem, or FLT for short – states that the equation xn + yn = zn has no solution if x, y and z all are positive integers and n is a whole number greater than 2.

    That's too hard for me, you are talking to a mavo c here. But it's pretty obvious that it are the actual methods that are on trial here. If you can be a wizard with the numbers the numbers are wrong, pure and simple
