Untitled[edit]

The claim that David Mermin is a polymath is completely unsubstantiated by this article and should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.92.123.124 (talk) 07:42, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Whoever is the original author of this piece, he should have just told us readers in not more than 50 everyday's English words, what is the most memorable contribution of Mermin to physics; otherwise why should he merit a space at all in Wikipedia?Pachomius2000 (talk) 17:45, 26 August 2017 (UTC)Pachomius[reply]

Pachomius, quantum mechanics does not belong in a pixie book, but how about "Mermin was the first to note how the three-particle GHZ state that no local hidden variable theory can explain quantum correlations". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Henryfunk (talk • contribs) 17:20, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
