Jim Al-KhaliliGUEST
By the early-- By the late '70s, early '80s, physicists were starting to do experiments and improving all the time.
Jim Al-KhaliliGUEST
Uh, uh, the first experiment in the '70s by an American by the name of John Clauser, then, then a Fr- French team in Paris, Alain Aspect, uh, and another team in Austria.
Jim Al-KhaliliGUEST
These guys all ended up only recently winning a Nobel Prize because of the experiments they did.
Jim Al-KhaliliGUEST
They proved Bell's inequality.
Will WilkinsonGUEST
Yeah.
Tom NelsonHOST
Um, one other thing I just wanted to bring up is that, uh, John Clauser won the Nobel in 2022 in physics, and he was a student of Happer in quantum mechanics, correct?
Will WilkinsonGUEST
He was, and I interviewed him.
Will WilkinsonGUEST
Very interesting guy, and, uh, we didn't quite get his chapter into the book, but he's on board with, uh, with Happer's, uh, beliefs on this.
Tim MaudlinGUEST
Bell himself does a real mathematical, more general proof.
Tim MaudlinGUEST
There, his proof was then further generalized into what's called the CHSH, Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality.
Curt JaimungalHOST
Mm-hmm.
Tim MaudlinGUEST
Which still involves pairs of particles.

Tim MaudlinGUEST
Well, what I've shown you now is what Bell did.
Tim MaudlinGUEST
He was working with these singlet states.
Tim MaudlinGUEST
It gave rise to the experiments done by John Clauser, Alain Aspect, Anton Zeilinger.
Tim MaudlinGUEST
They got the Nobel Prize for those experiments.
Alain AspectGUEST
And already these experiments are very important.
Alain AspectGUEST
The first one was done by John Clauser in 1972.
Alain AspectGUEST
And these experiments are quite interesting and getting the result of these experiments really says something.
Alain AspectGUEST
However, you can still pretend that there is some possibility that both ends of the experiment communicate by some unknown interaction.
John RobsonHOST
America rose to greatness on freedom of choice, and only freedom of choice can keep it great.
John RobsonHOST
In the newsletter, we then continue our series looking at the book Canary in a Climate World with Chapter 3 by Dr. John Clauser.
John RobsonHOST
Now, he's hard for them to dismiss because he's a Nobel Prize-winning physicist as well as a self-described denier.
John RobsonHOST
But in the interest of fairness to both sides, we do have to object here that his comments on climate are painfully harsh, including accusations of misconduct and fraud.
Lester NareHOST
Mm.
Krishna ChoudharyHOST
Okay? John Clauser very famously did this at Berkeley, another one in our America 250 timeline.
Krishna ChoudharyHOST
Um, and he showed that in fact, there is a violation.
Lester NareHOST
Right.
Krishna ChoudharyHOST
There is a violation of Bell's inequality, and you cannot factor this probability distribution, okay? There's no separate components.
Krishna ChoudharyHOST
You have to consider the entire thing in this giant, no matter how far apart Alice and Bob are, okay? John Clauser did this in the, he won the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics, along with Alain Aspect and Anton Zeilinger.
Lester NareHOST
Mm-hmm.
Krishna ChoudharyHOST
Um, these guys were instrumental at taking Bell's inequality to the absolute limit.
