Belfast Street Named For Eminent Scientist
A street in Belfast's Titanic Quarter has been named in honour of one of Northern Ireland's most eminent scientist, John Stewart Bell.
Bell's Theorem Crescent honours the Belfast scientist who proved Albert Einstein wrong, when he demonstrated the famous scientists views on quantum mechanics – the behaviour of atoms and subatomic particles – were incorrect.
John Stewart Bell is considered one of the 20th Century's greatest physicists, who is believed to have been in line for a Nobel Prize in 1990 when he died unexpectedly following a stroke.
