A strong form of Goldbach's conjecture

From papers

Let G(n)G(n)) denote the number of pairs of primes whose sum is the even integer nn. For even integers n6n\geq 6, the proposed lower bound is

G(n)>k=3n/21ln(k)ln(nk)O(k=3n/21[ln(k)][ln(nk)]2)O(k=3n/21[ln(k)]2[ln(nk)]).\begin{aligned} G(n) &> \sum_{k=3}^{n/2} \frac{1}{\ln(k)\,\ln(n-k)}\\ &\quad - \left|\mathcal{O}\left(\sum_{k=3}^{n/2} \frac{1}{[\ln(k)]\,[\ln(n-k)]^2}\right)\right|\\ &\quad - \left|\mathcal{O}\left(\sum_{k=3}^{n/2} \frac{1}{[\ln(k)]^2\,[\ln(n-k)]}\right)\right|. \end{aligned}

A strong form of Goldbach's conjecture. For every even integer n6n\geq 6,

G(n)>k=3n/21ln(k)ln(nk)O(k=3n/21[ln(k)][ln(nk)]2)O(k=3n/21[ln(k)]2[ln(nk)])>0.G(n)>\sum_{k=3}^{n/2} \frac{1}{\ln(k)\,\ln(n-k)}-\left|\mathcal{O}\left(\sum_{k=3}^{n/2} \frac{1}{[\ln(k)]\,[\ln(n-k)]^2}\right)\right|-\left|\mathcal{O}\left(\sum_{k=3}^{n/2} \frac{1}{[\ln(k)]^2\,[\ln(n-k)]}\right)\right|>0.

This would give a quantitative lower bound for the Goldbach partition function and, in particular, imply that every even integer at least 66 is a sum of two primes. The paper presents it as a heuristic conjecture derived from a probabilistic use of the prime number theorem; no resolution is supplied.
