John Stewart Bell

John Stewart Bell (June 28, 1928 - October 1, 1990) was an Irish physicist.

Bell was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

In 1964 demonstrated that quantum mechanics requires supraluminal[?] signaling. He showed that von Neumann’s proof against deterministic quantum mechanics lacked rigor and that Bohm’s work got around von Neumann’s objections through the use of supraluminal signaling. He later defended his work against those distorting it’s meaning to favor in-deterministic quantum theories. He became a supporter of Bohm’s work and called its suppression a “scandal” within physics.

He died in Belfast.
