Welcome Nico==== I am honored to have you on my site. Your work is significant in my areas of interest.<br />
====<br />
There is much I can learn from you. I enjoy your insights. Thank you for coming. -- [[JimScarver]]<br />

Thanks, Jim.<br><br />
I noticed that you're a fan of Adams (re "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe").<br />
The magic answer (number 42) to all questions regarding Life etc. is not randomly<br />
chosen, as Adams mentions in his fan-group posting 11nov93, but it has a deep<br />
background (;-) Namely, Fermat's famous hypothesis on the sum of two p-th powers<br />
not being a p-th power for primes p >2 (Pythagoras cannot be genealized beyond<br />
squares;-( '''does''' have a solution in residues: x^p + y^p = z^p (mod p^k) for some<br />
prime exponents p (any k >1), in fact at least for primes of form p = 6m +1.<br />
<br />
* The smallest prime this occurs is p<code>7, k</code>2 and the three p-th powers (hence x, y, z) are coprime to p.<br />
<br />
There are p(p-1) residues coprime to p (mod p^2), forming a cyclic<br />
group of that order, which equals 42 in case p=7... See? <br>In fact the solutions<br />
are equivalent to the cubic roots of Unity: a + a^2 <code> -1, with a^3 </code> 1 (mod p^2).<br><br />
So the age-old 'Trinity' concept (thesis, anti-thesis --> synthesis) is also there====<br />
