Hi,

I figure I'll share the thought I'm trailing....

Given Goldbach's Conjecture as true then it has a geometric interpretation.

Given a triangle of even area greater than two it can be tiled with a set of
triangles, with areas given by primes, exactly. I'm using equilaterals as a
test case since they're easy to deal with geometricaly.

So, if one can show that this is true then Goldbach's follows.
