• Is Goldbach’s Conjecture ‘Likely’ True?

  

  Michael Emmerich, Jyväskylä, 8.8.2026 Goldbach’s conjecture says that every even integer greater than 2 is a sum of two primes. It is either true or false; there is no literal probability attached to its truth value. So what could it mean to say that the conjecture is “likely” to be true? A useful interpretation is…
