Is the Goldbach Conjecture Finally Proven?

In summary, the conversation discusses the Goldbach's Conjecture, which states that every even integer can be written as the sum of two primes. There is currently no proof for this conjecture, but it is believed to be true. Some mathematicians have suggested using the ternary Goldbach conjecture (every number can be written as the sum of three primes) to prove the binary version, but this has not been successful. One person suggests using a function involving prime numbers to prove the conjecture, but others believe a more formal proof is needed. Another person presents a construction method using twin primes to generate all even numbers up to 372, but this is not a full proof. The conversation ends with a discussion on whether this line

Goldbach Conjecture is 2n = Prime (a+n)+ Prime (a-n), 1 is here prime


2 = (0+1)+(1-0)

4 = (1+2)+(2-1)

6 = (2+3)+(3-2)

8 = (3+4)+(4-3)

10= (2+5)+(5-2)

12= (1+6)+(6-1)

14 =(4+7)+(7-4)

20=(3+10)+(10-3)

22=(6+11)+(11-6)

2n=(a+n)+(n-a)
Yes, there exist many numbers "a" that will fit here. What about "prime"?

Proof:

(a+n) = 2n+(a-n)=2n-(n-a)

So, essentially, you are telling us that you do not know what a "proof" is.
