Title
 "Kochen, Specker, Bell, and Others”

Work of Ernst Specker (1960), Simon Kochen and Ernst Specker (1967), and John Bell (1964) concerning the non-existence of a hidden-variables theory reproducing the predictions of Quantum Mechanics is reviewed. Subsequently, a novel approach to Quantum Mechanics yielding - among other things - a solution of the measurement problem is outlined.

This is a re-broadcast of Jürg Fröhlich's seminar given in Professor Jaffe's Harvard seminar. Professor Jürg will be available to answer questions at the end.
