Abstract
Bell’s Inequalities provide a quantitative criterion to test some reasonable Supplementary Parameters Theories versus Quantum Mechanics. Thanks to Bell1, the debate about the possibility of completing Quantum Mechanics by an underlying substructure has been brought into the experimental domain.
