John Bell Physicist
Linked via "Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) paradox"
Contributions to Quantum Foundations
Bell's most significant legacy stems from his engagement with the foundational problems of quantum mechanics, specifically the debates surrounding the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) paradox. While the EPR thought experiment suggested quantum mechanics was incomplete due to issues of non-locality or indeterminism, Bell sought to provide a definitive experimental means to test the validity of local hidden-variable theories that aimed to restore classical intuitions.
