Every even integer greater than 2 can be written as a sum of two prime numbers, this is the current version of Goldbach's conjecture, which has already been verified for millions of even numbers, but to date has not yet been mathematically proven, leaving open the question of whether the conjecture is true or not. The purpose of this work is to contribute, with proper justification, an answer to this question by employing fundamental logical and mathematical principles. The argument begins by showing that every even integer greater than or equal to 6 is a sum of two odd primes and an even number greater than or equal to zero. It then shows that every sum of an even integer greater than 6 and an even number greater than or equal to zero is an even integer greater than or equal to 6. The combination of these two facts is expressed in a way that allows us to identify the relationship between even numbers greater than or equal to 6 and a sum of two odd prime numbers. Once this relationship is known, it is possible to determine whether every even number greater than or equal to 6 can be written as a sum of two odd prime numbers, this conclusion is fundamental to determining whether Goldbach’s Conjecture is in fact true or not. This knowledge can be applied in a wide variety of scientific fields and areas of study, serve as the basis for new discoveries, contribute to the development and teaching of mathematics, help us better understand the distribution of prime numbers, assist in the development of algorithms and cryptography for greater digital security, and have many other implications.
