XGC: an eXtension of the Goldbach Conjecture
A web site I created to illustrate my extension of the popular Goldbach Conjecture. Click on the *** link to try it right now, from your browser.
The drill is to remember a nice use I discovered for the Goldbach Conjecture.
- Take a long strip of wood.
- Mark a line in the middle, along all its length.
- Mark an X each U centimeters along the line.
- Associate an integer to each X, starting from 1 and incrementing by 2.
- Make a hole on each X that happens to be associated to a prime.
- Install a 180 degrees bendable hinge each U/2 centimeters, starting from the first X onward.
- The Goldbach Conjecture states that at WHATEVER hinge you fold the strip on itself, there will be AT LEAST ONE hole across both layers.
