===Bell's publications=== Bell chose to publish his theorem in a comparatively obscure journal because it did not require [[page charge]]s, in fact paying the authors who published there at the time. Because the journal did not provide free reprints of articles for the authors to distribute, however, Bell had to spend the money he received to buy copies that he could send to other physicists.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|last=Whitaker|first=Andrew|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3Rg9DAAAQBAJ&q=fizika|title=John Stewart Bell and Twentieth Century Physics: Vision and Integrity|date=2016|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-874299-9|language=en}}</ref> While the articles printed in the journal themselves listed the publication's name simply as ''Physics'', the covers carried the trilingual version ''[[Physics Physique Физика]]'' to reflect that it would print articles in English, French and Russian.<ref name=":1">{{cite book|last=Wick|first=David|chapter=Bell's Theorem |pages=92–100 |year=1995|title=The Infamous Boundary: Seven Decades of Heresy in Quantum Physics |publisher=Springer |location=New York|doi=10.1007/978-1-4612-4030-3_11|isbn=978-0-387-94726-6}}</ref>{{Rp|92–100, 289}} Prior to proving his 1964 result, Bell also proved a result equivalent to the Kochen–Specker theorem (hence the latter is sometimes also known as the Bell–Kochen–Specker or Bell–KS theorem). However, publication of this theorem was inadvertently delayed until 1966.<ref name="ND Mermin 1993-07" /><ref name="Bell1966">{{cite journal | last1 = Bell | first1 = J.
