| Physicist, born in Belfast, NE Northern Ireland, UK. He studied at Belfast University, and worked at the UK Atomic Energy Research Establishment before joining the staff at CERN, Geneva (1960). Here he developed the equations known as Bell's inequalities, which predict how measurements on one photon affect measurements made on another correlated photon. Subsequent experimental results show Bell's inequalities to be violated, thus ruling in favour of quantum mechanics which is ‘non-local’ in nature. |
