Talk:John Stewart Bell

message: ? The dates such as 1790 cannot be correct in this article. This article seems to discuss quantum mechanics which did not exist in the 18th century ?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.124.80.78 (talk) 16:51, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

message: "John Bell [..] had hoped that [..] experiments would eventually falsify quantum mechanics." - From reading his book, I find no such thought. He seemed to believe strongly in QM. Thus, what is the above claim based on? Harald88 18:25, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

message: According to CERN (see, for example, http://cdsweb.cern.ch/record/42900) and the science writer John Gribbin [Q is for Quantum, (London: Phoenix, 1999)], John Bell's middle name is not "Stewart", but "Stuart". Elsewhere (e.g., University of Toronto), the spelling is "Stewart". Is there a definitive source? George963 au (talk) 15:30, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

message: Hello. Some of you might know the legendary Course of Theoretical Physics. Many of the volumes were translated into English by a J S Bell. Might that happen to be this J S Bell? RhinoMind (talk) 04:36, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

message: The article currently states this:
Unknown to Bell, that year he had been nominated for a Nobel Prize.
Who has said that? Nominations aren't supposed to be made public until after 50 years:
Nomination to the Nobel Prize in Physics is by invitation only. The names of the nominees and other information about the nominations cannot be revealed until 50 years later.

message: I've found some links that contain details of his family background:
*John Stewart Bell. 28 July 1928 – 1 October 1990 - Royal Society Publishing
*Bell, John Stewart - Dictionary of Irish biography
*John Bell and the most profound discovery of science - physicsworld
His mother's maiden name is given in the first reference as Brownlee and she is said to be of the Stewart family, though the source doesn't go further on the connection. Autarch (talk) 15:39, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
