    Recently, I was reading a lecture by Edward Witten at the Clay Mathematics Institute and he touched on the topic of Fermat's Last Theorem. He mentioned how Wiles's tactic to solving it also lead them to discovering a new area of study in the quantum mechanics. After reading that, I started investigating more on the net and found a very intriguing article excerpt by Hitoshi Nishino on the similarity between supersymmetry and Fermat's Last Theorem.

    I am assuming that he is talking about the relationship being between Andrew Wiles's solution through the use of a hypothetical elliptic curve and supersymmetry?
