What makes You so sure, Goldbach will be proven. If i'm not mistaken,
one can formulate this as:
For every natural number n, which is not prime, there exist a prime
below and a prime further up at the same distance from n, f.e n=24
At distance 5 from 24 there are 19 and 29 both primes. Now going up to
very big natural numbers the percentage of primes drops.
Would there not be the proof, that between n and 2*n is always at least
one prime, i would give Goldbach no chance.
And there's a question : Is there an intervall from n to 2*n known with
only one prime p ?
