An Inconsistency

Authors/Creators

Description

This paper proves an inconsistency in ZFC. For a strengthened form of the strong Goldbach conjecture and its negation, we show that assuming either statement implies that we have a proof of that statement. In other words, the paper actually does not solve the conjecture, but it proves that it does. We achieve this contradiction by using the properties of a specific set, on the basis of which we reformulate the conjecture.
