On the irregularity of the distribution of the sums of pairs of odd primes

Let P2(n) denote the number of ways of writing n as a sum of two odd primes. We support a conjecture of Hardy and Littlewood concerning P2(n) by showing that it holds in a certain average sense. Thereby showing the irregularity of P2(n).
