I think there's a language barrier here. My best guess is that Fernando
is saying that it's possible to prove both the Goldbach Conjecture and
its negation, and this is the "Unholy Grail" that some mathematicians
have been searching for. (That there is a contradiction in the basic
assumptions of mathematics.) Am I close?
