Can we discuss superstring theory as it relates to Fermat's Last Theorem?
Probably not, because as far as I am aware, it doesn't. :-)

3. Why wouldn't they relate? ...
as far as I can see both the ss theory and FL theorem both use numbers (or representations of numbers) so they at least have that in common.
Also some people understand both ss theory and the history of the theorem as well as the later proof, so they do relate in that way.
Finally, a description of both can be found in wikepedia so there must be a relationship there.

discuss.

7. Let me tell you, with what I know about supercoliders and ss theory,
I could start a book.

8. If they asked me, I could write a book;
About the way you walk, and whisper;
And look.
I could write a preface;
On how we met;
That the world will never forget.

And the simple;
Secret of the plot;
Is just to tell them;
That I love you, alot.
Then the world discovers;
As my book ends;
How to make two lovers of friends.
:-)

9. Fermat's an idiot.
Dr Kaku rebutted his theorem years ago. According to Dr Kaku, superstring
theory is on the back burner until humanity has emotionally evolved to
the point that it won't be weaponized. Dr Einstein weeps.

12. Maybe,
Is there something in string theory that's analogous to the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture?

13. Back when I was an undergrad, one of the world's top experts on Fermat
hit on my girlfriend. Also, she had a cat that played with string...

Everything is one, man. Everything. is. one.
