That is not any of the conventional meanings of undecidable.

> The Goldbach conjecture is undecided and not undecidable.

The conjecture may very well be one of the formally undecidable
propositions about which Gödel wrote in 1931.  You most certainly don't
know whether or not it is undecidable in this conventional sense of the
word.

You claim to want to write a paper about this.  If you can't lean what
these technical words mean, you won't get very far.  And if you can but
won't it suggests you are not serious.
