There have been many attempts to try and prove it but so far none of these succeeded
it was important because it hasn't been solved
Goldbach's conjecture says that every even number greater than two can be expressed as the sum of 2 primes. If 30 could not be expressed as the sum of two primes, then this would disprove the conjecture. As it is, 30 can be expressed as the sum of two primes. You can express it as 11+19. Thus, Goldbach's conjecture holds in this case.
According to the Goldbach conjecture, every even prime number greater than 2 can be expressed as a sum of two primes. It has not yet been proven so it is possible that there is an even number that meets your requirements. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldbach%27s_conjecture
There is no conjecture about the sum of the first 30 positive even numbers. The answer can be derived and proven. A statement that has been proven is no longer a conjecture.
That is known as the Goldbach conjecture.

Goldbach's conjecture states that every even integer which is greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers. This has been shown to be correct for integers up to approx 4 quintillion but has not been proven.
Chuck Norris is.

It is a proposition that is believed to be true but has not [yet] been proven to be true. Clearly, if proven to be false it would no longer be a conjecture.

The Goldbach conjecture is probably one of the best known. The conjecture is that every even number greater than 2 can be expressed as a sum of two primes. T. Oliveira e Silva has confirmed the conjecture for number up to 4*10^18 but, despite many years of effort, the conjecture has not been proved.
20 (which is an even # greater then 2)=7+13 (which are both prime #s)
That is known as the Goldbach conjecture.
Goldbach's Conjecture is that every even number greater than two can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers. For example, 4 = 2 + 2, 6 = 3 + 3, 8 = 5 + 3, 10 = 7 + 3, 12 = 7 + 5, etc. Although the conjecture has been checked up to very large values and many weaker results have been proved, the conjecture remains open. Because it is so well-known and easily understood, it is frequently the subject of mistaken "proofs" by amateur mathematicians.
