John Stewart Bell citations

John Stewart Bell est un physicien nord irlandais connu principalement pour son théorème et les inégalités qui en découlent. Ce résultat est considéré comme l'un des plus importants en physique quantique au XXe siècle, notamment en ce qui concerne les théories dites « à variables cachées » .

En conséquence, Bell estimait[Quand ?] qu'il fallait redonner une plus juste place à la théorie de De Broglie-Bohm , par rapport à l'interprétation de Copenhague.[pas clair]En 1989, il fut lauréat de la médaille Hughes. Wikipedia

John Stewart Bell: Citations en anglais

“Theoretical physicists live in a classical world, looking out into a quantum-mechanical world. The latter we describe only subjectively, in terms of procedures and results in our classical domain.”

John S. Bell Introduction to the hidden-variable question

"Introduction to the hidden-variable question" (1971), included in Speakable and Unspeakable in Quantum Mechanics (1987), p. 29

“ORDINARY QUANTUM MECHANICS (as far as I know) IS JUST FINE FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES.”

Against 'measurement' (1990)
Contexte: I agree with them about that: ORDINARY QUANTUM MECHANICS (as far as I know) IS JUST FINE FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES. Even when I begin by insisting on this myself, and in capital letters, it is likely to be insisted on repeatedly in the course of the discussion. So it is convenient to have an abbreviation for the last phrase: FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES = FAPP.

“FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES = FAPP.”

“I am a Quantum Engineer, but on Sundays I Have Principles.”

Opening sentence of his "underground colloquium" in March 1983, as quoted by Nicolas Gisin in an edition by [J. S. Bell, Reinhold A. Bertlmann, Anton Zeilinger, Quantum [un]speakables: from Bell to quantum information, Springer, 2002, 3540427562, 199]

“1 + P(b, c) ≥ |P(a, b) - P(a, c)|”

On the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox (1964)

“Bohr was inconsistent, unclear, willfully obscure and right. Einstein was consistent, clear, down-to-earth and wrong.”

quoted in Graham Farmelo, " Random Acts of Science http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/13/books/review/Farmelo-t.html", The New York Times (June 11, 2010)
