In 1742, a mathematician named Christian Goldbach wrote a letter to the famous Leonhard Euler. In it, he made a surprisingly simple claim: "Every even number greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two prime numbers." For example: 18 = 13 + 5; 74 = 43 + 31 In 1938, Nils Pipping verified it by hand for every number up to 100,000 by hand. Mathematicians checked using computers millions, billions, even trillions of cases—and it never fails. But in mathematics, checking examples isn’t enough. You need a proof that works forever. No one has been able to prove that this rule works for all even numbers.
