the sum of 2 cubes is not a cube is a version of Fermat's Last Theorem
there are no natural numbers x,y and z such that x^3 + y^3 = z^3
natural numbers mean a positive integer: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ....
but it is generalized into x^n + y^n = z^n has no solution for n if n>2 and n is a positive integer
a proof was published in 1995 by Wiles. It takes 129 pages long, and uses advanced mathematics, not easily understood. Wiles is a British mathematician. He originally published it earlier but it had an error it in. He corrected it after several years.
