For nearly 300 years, the Goldbach Conjecture has represented one of mathematics’ greatest paradoxes: a problem so simple that a child can understand it yet so tricky that it has stumped the brightest minds in history. This is the story of that quest, from the brilliant insights of Ramanujan to the modern supercomputer calculations that have tested it into the quintillions.
