The speakable and unspeakable in quantum mechanics

The speakable and unspeakable in quantum mechanics

This book includes the entire collection of published and unpublished papers on the conceptual and philosophical problems of quantum mechanics written by John Bell, the leading expositor and interpreter of the modern quantum theory.
John Bell's work was extremely valuable in sharpening our understanding of quantum mechanics, particularly the impossibility of local deterministic causality - you can't have both locality and hidden variables that determine quantum outcomes. This selection of Bell's writings has some technical material but there are also papers accessible to the non-specialist. For example, his "Six possible worlds of quantum mechanics" explores thoughts and interpretations from Bohr (Copenhagen), Einstein, de Broglie and Bohm (hidden variables), Everett (many worlds) and others. Highly recommended!
