Additional quotes by Nick Herbert

Bell himself managed to devise such a proof which rejects all models of reality possessing the property of "locality". This proof has since become known as Bells theorem. It asserts that no local model of reality can underlie the quantum facts. Bell's theorem says that reality must be non-local.

The simplicity of Bell's proof opens it to everyone, not just physicists and mathematicians.

One of the best-kept secrets of science is that physicists have lost their grip on reality.
