Until the 1E+6 $ prize will be awarded I will not believe in proofs of
Twin primes or Goldbach conjecture. My opinion is that they are
impossible to
demonstrate because they do not belongs to Arithmetic but to
Probability.

well the proof is considered to be false anyway , but i just would like to see it.

So you think it is impossible to demonstrate anything in probability?

The story is on pages 257-258 of that book. Dudley has an undated
newspaper clipping reporting that Moore presented a proof at an
Amer Math Soc meeting in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Other evidence
indicates the clipping is from a midwestern newspaper during the
Second World War.

Maybe someone has tracked things down and told Dudley more
details. I suppose anyone who really wanted to know could ask Dudley.

Further to my previous post, there was an Amer Math Soc meeting
at Wellesley in 1944. There's an article about it at
http://projecteuclid.org/DPubS/Repository/1.0/Disseminate?view=body&id=pd
f_1&handle=euclid.bams/1183506292
If that doesn't work, just type
american mathematical society meeting wellesley
into your favorite search engine, and it should come out near the top.
The article mentions a paper by C N Moore, Convergence factors
in general analysis, Abstract 50-9-221. Doesn't sound like twin
primes to me, but who knows?

The abstract of Convergence factors in general analysis, II, is at
http://projecteuclid.org/DPubS/Repository/1.0/Disseminate?view=body&id=pd
f_1&handle=euclid.bams/1183507138
and it has no reference to primes, twin or otherwise.

OK, I found Abstract 50-9-221 at
http://www.ams.org/journals/bull/1944-50-09/S0002-9904-1944-08189-5/S0002
-9904-1944-08189-5.pdf
No mention of primes. Dead end.
