John Stewart BellFrequency Awareness presents Minds of Genius, a series of informational articles to help explain the history of energetic medicine. This article discusses John Stewart Bell best known for the Bell's Theorem which shows predictions of quantum mechanics.
Bell's theorem is a theorem that shows that the predictions of quantum mechanics (QM) are not intuitive, and touches upon fundamental philosophical issues that relate to modern physics. It is the most famous legacy of the late physicist John S. Bell. Bell's theorem is a no-go theorem stating that "No physical theory of local hidden variables can ever reproduce all of the predictions of quantum mechanics."
John Stewart Bell (June 28, 1928 - October 1, 1990) Einstein was critical of the standard interpretation of quantum mechnics. Einstein wanted to get rid of the action at a distance by introducing "local hidden variables". Einstein pursued this goal for the rest of his life, between 1935 and 1955, and even after his death the problem seemed worth the effort of many persons, mainly theorists and philisophers. But finally, Bell's theorem, published in 1964, proved once and for all that the problem could be decided by experiments; it is possible to construct experiments in which it is impossible for any kind of interpretation based on "local hidden variables" to give the same predictions as quantum mechanics, providing a means of testing whether "action at a distance" actually occurs.
