Mersenne: interesting theorem

[Aaron Cannon]

I ran across an interesting statement on the top of a math paper that I
was helping my sister with.  It said that every even number greater than 4
is the sum of two primes.  I am curious if this has been proven and if
anyone knows where I could find more info about this.  Thanks.

I'm sure that it probably has been done, however, I am considering writing
a program to see if I can disprove this theorem.  It is my belief that it
can be disproven because the higher you go, the less primes you have.
Anyway, writing the program will be challenging and give me something to
do.

 I, too, had heard this when in the seventh grade (we did a lot of work with
 theorems and conjectures).  As I recall, this particular one was not or could
 not be proven.  It sure is interesting to consider and who knows in what ways
 this simple theorem could be useful for us.

Subject: SETI@home Project Update

Dear SETI@home volunteer:

Thank you for signing up for SETI@home.  We're on schedule to
distribute the SETI@home screensaver program in April 1999, and
we'll send you another email when that happens.

On October 30 we began recording data at the world's largest
radio telescope, located in Arecibo, Puerto Rico.  Preliminary
versions of the screensaver program and the data distribution
system have been completed.  On November 20 we will begin
testing the system with a group of 100 users analyzing real data
(sorry - no more volunteers needed).  Over the next few months
we will complete the testing, making sure the system will handle
large numbers of users.

We are pleased to thank SETI@home's sponsors and technology
partners: the Planetary Society (a 100,000 member organization
founded by Carl Sagan), Paramount Studios (in conjunction with
their new movie, Star Trek IX:  Insurrection), Sun Microsystems,
EDT, Fuji Film Computer Products, Informix, and individual donors
like you. The screen saver will be free for everyone, but if
you can consider making a tax-deductible donation to SETI@home,
please visit http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/donor.html.
We also invite you to become a member of The Planetary Society.
You can visit their site at http://www.planetary.org.

For further SETI@home information and news, please see
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu.

Thank you again for offering to participate in SETI@home.  Our
work is enhanced and inspired by the enthusiasm of thoughtful,
adventurous, and generous people like you.

If you wish to remove your name from the SETI@home email list,
please send an empty email message to this address with subject
header "remove".

Best wishes,

The SETI@home project
