Yes, i agree that quantum mechanics is a great field to interact with
artists. For me is a passionate field, and may be one of the reasons
because i studied physics (even i´m not expert, or close to be an expert).
However, at the same time, is dangerous, in the sense that it is very easy
to go mystical or unnatural. In fact, in my impresion, i´m really excited
about this field because is natural (is nature¡¡) (but this is just
ideology, wich is transversal to any discussion).
Concerning Bell, i disagree with you. I think his famus paper is one of the
most cited in scientific literature (if not the most cited). At the same
time, John Bell has a tremendous reputation in science. I agree with you
about the richnes of his proposal. He make that somethinkg that was
considered as a problem if interpretation, become to a measurable problem.
I really like the problems of interpretation, and in quantum mechanics
there are a lot of interpretative arguments, but in science we finally want
to measure, and Bell did just this.
I´m reading your link with care (i´m far to be any kind of expert in this
field and i need time), but it seems fascinating, in the sense that they
use a beautifull metaphore (dumb holes), to study things that nowadays are
not easy/possible to measure. Thanks for the link, i will enjoy it !!, (i
think this is another example of the enrichment of science from artists: as
we are interested in many simillar phenomena, we can share information,
which comes from different sources)
Best,
Guillermo.
