Abstract : Here we show Beal conjecture shown false thirteen times focusing on a line segments as the key disproof a line can be compressed into an arc of shorter length connecting two non-prime or composite numbers or stretched from 16 into 17. I also site Ramanujan’s taxi cab number as counterexample 13
