Bell's Theorem, Quantum Theory and Conceptions of the Universe / edited by Menas Kafatos.

Bell's Theorem and its associated implications for the nature of the physical world remain topics of great interest. For this reason many meetings have been recently held on the interpretation of quantum theory and the implications of Bell's Theorem. Generally these meetings have been held...
