I have added a little to the page (re the loopholes in the Bell tests) and given a couple of refs and a link to a biography. This does not pretend to be a full coverage of the subject. Caroline Thompson 09:52, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

It should be "superluminal" instead of supraluminal.

According to whom did Bell hope that QM would be falsified?

"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)[reply]

Thus I now park the doubtful phrase here:

, and that experiments would eventually falsify quantum mechanics

"EPR and Bell theorem"?

The article now asks: "perhaps one can instead regard EPR and Bell's theorem as a success?"

However, it is generally held that Bell's theorem disproved the EPR claim about specific (from the start determining) hidden variables, and Bell agreed with that. Thus that sentence needs rephrasing.
