🤔 Wow, who knew that John Stewart Bell 'quietly' revolutionized quantum theory with the subtlety of a physicist whispering at a black hole conference? 🚀🔔 Meanwhile, let's pretend that 1964 was just yesterday because, clearly, nothing else important has happened in physics since then. 🙄

Quantum Milestones, 1964: John Stewart Bell Quietly Rings in New Era of Quantum Theory

In 1964, Bell showed that quantum physics predicts correlations that violate certain inequalities. The work implied that quantum mechanics is not compatible with locality, even if there were “hidden variables” not accounted for in quantum theory.

@jgoguen This year is the 60th anniversary of the physics paper where physicist #JohnStewartBell from #Belfast #NorthernIreland showed that #Einstein was wrong about #quantum entanglement. There is a (somewhat) accessible explanation here https://hackaday.com/2015/11/11/what-do-bertlmanns-socks-mean-to-the-nature-of-reality/
What Do Bertlmann’s Socks Mean To The Nature Of Reality?

One can be reasonably certain that when the title of an article includes the phrase “The Nature of Reality”, thought provoking words must surely lie ahead.  But when that same title see…
