Why do you say that his 1964 paper (I assume) was not read by anyone for four years?
- tbabb 8y agoHe published in a tiny journal that was only in print for a handful of years, which was read by very few people. Bell himself said that no one contacted him or even mentioned it to him until four years after its publish date, and that researcher only came across it by pure happenstance. The whole story is detailed in Becker's book; it's fascinating.
