Sep 7, 2020 at 19:12 comment added Joe Silverman Note that this parametrization doesn't only find infinitely many rational solutions, it actually finds all solutions. Here's why. It obviously gives $(0,0,0)$ by taking $s=t=0$. Now suppose that $(x,y,z)$ is a solution with $xyz\ne0$. Then take $s=x/z$ and $t=y/z$, and you'll get an $(s,t)$ pair such that when you plug them into Nullhomologous' formulas, you get back the original $(x,y,z)$.
