Superficially, I had many of the right credentials to have been adopted by such a luminary as Olivier Costa de Beauregard. It would only be for an hour per week within the Spring semester of 1980 at his office in the Institut Henri Poincaré and it would be an informal, ongoing discussion about the EPR, Bell’s work at CERN, and an assessment of current work throughout the world. It was a relaxed atmosphere. Initially, I held back my deepest intuitions about entanglement, I.e. that these were perfected states in spacetime where both are created through continuity-order and symmetry-relation and were experienced as harmony-dynamics. That’s all I had at that time and I knew it wasn’t enough. –bec

“His doctoral thesis, defended in 1943 , focused on Dirac ‘s theory of the electron . In 1971, he was appointed research director at the CNRS. He was part of Louis de Broglie ‘s team and devoted his research to different aspects of the theories of relativity and quantum mechanics.
“…he reflected on the difficult problem of the relationships between the two great theories — relativity and quantum mechanics. He published numerous articles on the inertial spin effect, which was highlighted by the experiment of Christian Imbert at the Optical Institute. From the 1970s, in conjunction with Bernard d’Espagnat, Bell and Shimony (en) , he suggested to Christain Imbert, a young professor at the Institute of Optics, to propose to Alain Aspect to carry out an experiment to test inequalities by Bell, in order to resolve the conflict between the experiments of Berkeley (Clauser and Freedman) and those of Harvard (Holt and Pipkin). After Aspect’s decision to do a different experiment, with variable polarizers ( Aspect experiment ), he proposed an interpretation of quantum predictions alternative to that of non-locality stated by Bernard d’Espagnat.

“He believed in the concept of mind over matter. In the same vein, he wrote frequently on the ramifications of the EPR paradox, a thought experiment which the authors tried to demonstrate that the quantum-mechanical description of Nature was incomplete, that unknown localised “hidden variables” had an effect. Further thought experiments by others including David Bohm and especially John Bell led to contradictory results from laboratory experiments. Alain Aspect, a young French researcher, sought a topic to gain his doctorat d’état. He visited Christian Imbert at the Institut d’Optique, who discussed it with Costa de Beauregard and Bernard d’Espagnat, before giving Aspect a bibliography related to Bell’s inequalities. Between 1981 and 1982, Aspect demonstrated convincingly that quantum mechanics violates Bell’s inequalities, a validation of the theory indicating that if hidden variables do exist then they are non-local.
