- I recall once seeing an article by Kemeny, in which he looked at a nonstandard
- model of the integers, in which there would be two (nonstandard) integers,
- n and n+2, both of which would be divisible by all standard integers. The
- hope was to be able to use this model to decide the twin-prime (or related)
- conjectures.

- Did any follow-up work ever occur on this subject ? If so, could someone
- post/mail references please ?
