Goldbach waked up from his dream as if he just entered a new domain, which is an eternal terra incognita belongs to human only. With the dip pen decorated with soft feathers, he wrote, “Every eveninteger greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two primes.” He knew by instinct and inspiration that the conjecture is truly right, but his reasonable sense stopped it. He was like a drowning fish, or a thirsty traveler, who desperately wanted to get rid of this circumstance, but failed time after time. He asked for help from his dear friend Euler. For many times Euler calculated, frowning, but his thought was as confusing as the mark on paper. “I believe you were right, but I can not prove it either,” said Euler.
This is Goldbach Conjecture, a laurel crown in the history of mathematics has not been won yet. It is said that knowledge is like a circle. The more it gets, the wider its circumference covers, and one feels more ignorant. God maybe gives a contemptuous laugh when observing humans. The instinct that we are born with could not restrain us from the increasing curiosity. Even though the hope of solving Goldbach Conjecture is revealed for many times, it turns out to be an illusion. There are many solutions offered, but none of it gets to its nature.
The ignorant is endless, while the truth is unreachable. It is so close as if you could touch when you stretch out hands, or you would not be lost when you open your eyes. It might be possible that one day we will touch upon the mirage that is so far in reality yet so near in sight, which might be in the domain of the rule maker, Creator. Would such a day come?
