From: Archimedes Plutonium on 12 Aug 2010 01:26 I have the proof, yes indeed, and it does not need any algebra. It simply is a Fermat Infinite Descent or mathematical induction. It is rather a pathetically silly proof in that it does not teach us anything new and the technique of mathematical induction is rather boring and not stimulating. So I rather wish we can find the Galois Algebra of interchange between addition and multiplication to liven up the Goldbach proof. I will not formally write the proof but just give the outline. The idea of the proof is that at some juncture of the Even Naturals we suppose hypothetically that Goldbach fails and call this number K. It has only a singlet prime summand and we call it 2 so the pair is (K-2, 2) Now we dissect K-2 for it does obey Goldbach and it has two prime summands of p_1 and p_2 and we add 2 to either p_1 or p_2 in hopes of repairing K so that both summands are now two primes. If not, then we go to (K-3, 3) and do the same procedure, and if that does not work we go to (K-5, 5). Eventually in this process we end up with two prime summands and the contradiction that accrues is that 4 does not equal 2+2 or that 6 does not equal 3+3. Or, possibly the Polignac Conjecture proved recently is the contradiction. Classic Fermat Infinite Descent. So rather disappointed in the lack of pizzazz. Would rather explore a Algebra interchange or Projective Geometry Interchange with multiplication and addition.
