Work of the Highest Calibre, and a Fine Life

Andrew Whitaker

Bell was a fine physicist. He did important work on accelerators and on nuclear and particle physics, but he will be mostly remembered for his seminal work on the foundations of quantum theory. It can be argued that Bell’s inequalities constitute both the fundamental mystery and the greatest opportunity of quantum theory. In work—taking an established component of physics and bringing in increased understanding and further challenges—he may be compared with Michael Faraday. Bell’s work was based on honesty, and honesty and integrity were also central to his personal life. John Bell’s honesty in his science, and his willingness to work steadily for its progress and to devote his time and efforts to help others to do the same, stand as guiding lights to those coming after him.

J. S. Bell

John Bell’s lectures have played an extraordinary part in our contemporary understanding of quantum concepts and their limited applicability to classical ideas of space, time, and location. Following a brief foreword by John Bell, Alain Aspect explains John Bell’s remarkable contribution to quantum philosophy.
