WHAT!?
How can we talk about luck and mathematics in a same discussion? They cannot liv with the other. Anyway, probably it's true that I'll have to invent my own math to prove goldbach's conjecture. But, what is that math? And, how can a part of math be invented? This last question is the one that makes me think a lot. How do mathematicians decide to make parts of maths how they are, only how they are? Why not with a slight change? How can we determine this? Is it the problem we are fighting, that determines this development?
