john bell's contributions to non-local hidden variables
John Bell's contributions to non-local hidden variables refer to his groundbreaking work in the field of quantum mechanics, where he developed Bell's theorem. This theorem provides a mathematical framework for testing the existence of hidden variables in quantum systems. Bell's theorem and subsequent experiments based on it showed that the predictions of quantum mechanics cannot be explained by any local hidden variable theory, thus challenging the prevailing view at the time. Bell's contributions have significantly influenced our understanding of the nature of quantum entanglement and the broader philosophical implications of quantum mechanics.
