Guest guest Posted October 6, 2001 Report Share Posted October 6, 2001 Rob, It is the so-called Einstein-Bohm experiment that was used to test the Bell's theorem that you mentioned. David Bohm is one of the most important figures in the development of quantum mechanics. My impression is that he ranks right up there with Heisenberg, Schrödinger, and Bohr. So as long as you're looking for someone to trust, don't dismiss him too quickly.

I didn't dismiss David Bohm. I didn't say anything about David Bohm. I said that people should read books by important physicists. You can't drag me into an argument about this. It's too stupid.
