About this person

Ernst Paul Specker (11 February 1920, Zürich - 10 December 2011, Zürich) was a Swiss mathematician. Much of his most influential work was on Willard Van Orman Quine's New Foundations, a set theory with a universal set, but he is most famous for the Kochen-Specker theorem in quantum mechanics, showing that certain types of hidden-variable theories are impossible. He also proved the ordinal partition relation ω2 → (ω2, 3)2, thereby solving a problem of Paul Erdős.
