Alain Aspect, "Bell's Theorem: The Naive View of an Experimentalist", in Quantum [Un]speakables (2002) edited by Reinhold A. Bertlmann and Anton Zeilinger
“
We must thank John Bell for having shown us that philosophical questions about the nature of reality could be translated into problems for physicists, where naive experimentalists can contribute.
— Alain Aspect on John Stewart Bell
What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "We must thank John Bell for having shown us that philosophical questions about the nature of reality could be translated into problems for physicists, where naive experimentalists can contribute." in the context of "Alain Aspect, "Bell's Theorem: The Naive View of an Experimentalist", in Quantum [Un]speakables (2002) edited by Reinhold A. Bertlmann and Anton Zeilinger" to mean that wisdom is timeless.

About Alain Aspect
Alain Aspect (born June 15, 1947) is a French physicist who performed the crucial "Bell test experiments" that showed that Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen's "spooky action at a distance", did in fact appear to be realised when two particles were separated by an arbitrarily large distance. A correlation between their wave functions remained, as they were once part of the same wave-function that was not disturbed before one of the child particles was measured.
