This paper examines the history of Bell’s inequality from EPR argument to Bell’s papers, and the influence of Bell’s inequality on the frontier exploration of quantum mechanics. It is found that Bell’s inequality has some hidden assumptions that are different from EPR argument. Some scholars have led to the erroneous conclusion that quantum information exceeds the speed of light. Along Schrodinger's idea that the measurement process of the EPR experiment requires time, Karl Hess treated time as a time order parameter, and got a local hidden variable inequality that is different from Bell’s inequality. Joy Christian extended the method of space-time geometry analysis of relativity to the localized geometry analysis of quantum states, and found that the reasoning of Bell’s inequality does not meet the requirements of the completeness of EPR argument. The mainstream quantum gravity researches have made great progress, but there are many disagreements. According to Einstein's local realism, some new interpretations and new representations of quantum mechanics are given, which may open up new ideas for quantum gravity research.
