In number theory, a mathematical axiom is that every even number greater than two is the sum of two prime numbers, also known as the Goldbach Conjecture. This doesn't mean they are the sum of only two primes, but that they are the sum of at least one pair. For example, 20 is the sum of 17 + 3 or 13 + 7.
The converse with odd numbers is that every odd integer greater than 5 is the sum of three primes.
How fascinating the hidden order of mathematics is. These axioms are like divine laws of our universal language, math. There's been a lot of research on prime numbers and number theory. It is something I would like to learn more about in future readings, as I attempt to uncover all the mysteries of our universe.
