Abstract: Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $mathbbQ$. Let $underlineIII(E)$ be a certain group of equivalence classes of homogeneous spaces of $E$ called its Tate-Shafarevich group. We show in this paper that this group has finite cardinality and discuss its role in the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture. In particular, our result implies the Parity Conjecture, or the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture modulo 2. It also removes the finiteness condition of $underlineIII(E)$ from previous results in the literature of this subject and makes possible for some computation problems concerning the Strong Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture. In addition, we also give an analogue of the Hasse-Minkowski Theorem for cubic plane curves.
