The Goldbach Conjecture
Introduction
Every even number greater in size than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two primes.
Conjecture
This is one of the oldest unsolved problems in the field of mathematics and it concerns the patterns within prime numbers.
Prime
Prime numbers can only be evenly divided by themselves and 1.
2, 3, 5, 7...
Simple
The Goldbach Conjecture simply states that every even number greater in size than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two primes.

Verified
Computer searches have apparently verified this conjecture up to 400 trillion, but a definite and singular proof or disproof continues to evade us.
Summary
Every even number greater in size than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two primes.
Is this statement singularly provable?
The Problem
Can every even number greater than 2 be expressed unchangingly as the sum of two primes?
The Answer
Singular
The answer to the Goldbach conjecture is that any singularly stated or singularly intended idea is missing its opposite and neutral potentials.
Top of Page
Unchanging
The idea of a statement that can never change is theoretically inaccurate.
Numbers
Numbers are a human invention.
Symbolism
All numbers symbolise either one, more (or less) than one, or nothing (zero).
Repetition
Any larger combination of numbers is simply the same original three potentials being infinitely repeated.

Patterns
With regards to any patterns to be found within this repetition, there are three possible potentials governing any stated pattern, regardless of the specific details.
Potentials
Every even number greater in size than two can be expressed as the sum of two primes but the opposite and neutral potential is still equally and simultaneously possible.
Is the Goldbach conjecture true or false?
1. The Goldbach conjecture is true.
2. The Goldbach conjecture is false.
3. The Goldbach conjecture is neutral.
Simultaneously.
Am I wrong?
I simultaneously oppose, agree with, and neutralise all criticism ad infinitum.
My point is literal.
There is no point creating a theory of everything that doesn't work.
