Yes.
I have a wonderful proof, but it's too long to fit into the margin of the book I'm reading.

That is a good question. Nobody has yet found an even integer that isn't a sum of two primes, but nobody has proven that every even integer is a sum of two primes either. The assertion that every even integer is a sum of two primes is called the Goldbach conjecture, and has been around for seversl hundered years, I believe.

No.
2 cannot be expressed as the sum of two primes.

That is Goldbach's conjecture. It has never been proven.
