Roshan's Conjecture

When I was a young child, I noticed a pattern. Every number past 3 seemed to have a pair of primes 'around' it.

  1. (4−1)<4<(4+1)
  2. (5−2)<5<(5+2)
  3. (6−1)<6<(6+1)
  4. (7−4)<7<(7+4)
  5. (11324−45)<11324<(11324+45)

Notice how for every number you can think of, there's a prime below it and a prime above it equidistant from it.

Better stated, what I concluded was that:

∀n∈N>3,∃k∈N≥1 such that n−k and n+k are both prime. I couldn't find a single counter-example to this. I was terribly excited, of course, because I thought I'd discovered some fundamental property of the universe.

Of course this turns out to be almost entirely equivalent to the famous modern form of Goldbach's conjecture with a little cajoling. So much for my foray into Mathematics!
