	David Bohm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David Joseph Bohm (December 20, 1917 Wilkes-Barre, PA–October 27, 1992 London, UK) was an American born quantum physicist, who made significant contributions in the fields of theoretical physics, philosophy and neuropsychology, and to the Manhattan Project.
		Bohm also made significant theoretical contributions to neuropsychology and the development of the holonomic model [2] of the functioning of the brain.
		Bohm showed a deep concern for humankind and life in general, and was alarmed by what he considered an increasing imbalance of not only 'man' and nature, but among peoples, as well as people, themselves.

	Bohm interpretation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics, sometimes called the Causal interpretation, the Ontological interpretation or the de Broglie-Bohm theory, is an interpretation postulated by David Bohm in which the existence of a non-local universal wavefunction allows distant particles to interact instantaneously.
		The minimum benefit of Bohm's interpretation - independently from the debate whether it is the preferable formulation - is a disproof of the claim that quantum mechanics implies that particles cannot exist before being measured.
		There are natural variants of the Bohm interpretation in which such problems do not appear: Spin is only a property of the wave function as in the Schrödinger equation, but the particle variables itself have no spin in the mathematical formulation, spin being a measurable result of the wave function.

	"David Bohn and the Implicate Order" by David Pratt
		David Bohm was one of the most distinguished theoretical physicists of his generation, and a fearless challenger of scientific orthodoxy.
		David Bohm was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, in 1917.
		Bohm believes that life and consciousness are enfolded deep in the generative order and are therefore present in varying degrees of unfoldment in all matter, including supposedly "inanimate" matter such as electrons or plasmas.

	Lifework of quantum physicist David Bohm by Will Keepin
		David Bohm's contributions to science and philosophy are profound, and they have yet to be fully recognized and integrated on the grand scale that they deserve.
		Bohm later reflected that these collective movements, which today are called Bohm-diffusion, gave him the impression that the sea of electrons was somehow "alive." This was Bohm's first important discovery in physics, and it hints at the deeper themes of wholeness and interconnectedness that characterize his life's work.
		David Bohm's most significant contribution to science is his interpretation of the nature of physical reality, which is rooted in his theoretical investigations, especially quantum theory and relativity theory.

	Book review of David Bohm
		Bohm believes that there is just one flow, in which both matter and mind flow, and that this flow can be known only implicitly through the forms (the still photographs) that we can grasp out of this flow.
		Bohm therefore rejects the distinction between what we are thinking and what is going on, as well as the notion that one part of reality (my mind) can know another part of reality: it is wrong to separate the thinker from the thought.
		Bohm's solution is to contrast the "explicate order" that we perceive (for example, the Cartesian order) and that Physics describess with the "implicate order", which is an underlying, hidden layer of relationships.

		It suggested to Bohm some organic process orchestrating this collective behavior, giving the impression that the sea of electrons was somehow “alive.” This was an important discovery in physics and began his interest into deeper themes of wholeness and interconnectedness that characterized his life’s work.
		Bohm’s meeting Einstein early on in Bohm’s teaching and research career led to his inquiry into the foundations of quantum theory and the unique foundations it spawned in Bohm’s lifetime quest to understand and describe all of reality.
		Bohm’s work has yet to be fully utilized but has laid a deep, rich foundation for the current research into consciousness.

	Broken Visage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Bohm suggests that this is a culturally inherited sensibility that overemphasized the role of isolated parts.
		Bohm suggests that the immediacy and accuracy of bodily proprioception are inhibited at the level of thought due to the gross accumulation of reflexes, personified in the image of a 'thinker' - an interior entitity who seems to look out on the world, as well as looking inwardly at emotions, thoughts and so on.
		Bohm suggests that the potential for collective intelligence inherent in such groups could lead to a new and creative art form, one which may involve signifigant numbers of people and beneficially affect the trajectory of our current civilization.

	David Bohm
		Bohm meant his concepts to replace order and disorder although he was not able to convince other scientists of this necessity.
		Bohm struggled with despair and depression at not being able to convince the scientific community of the scientific value of his discoveries.
		Explained in reference to Bohm's terms, one way of defining grouping order and symmetry order would be to classify both as expressions of explicate order, except that this would be recognizing only the tangible measure of balance in a pattern as symmetry order, meaning the specific component of balance in a pattern.

	david bohm, donald factor and peter garrett - dialogue. a proposal @ the informal education archives
		David Bohm (1917-1992) was a distinguished physicist who is best known for his work on the fundamentals of quantum theory and relativity theory and their implications for other fields.
		(Bohm's influence can be seen, for example, in the work of Peter Senge on learning organizations) In the paper the writers set out their understanding of dialogue, and the way in which it can be approached.
		Our approach to this form of Dialogue arose out of a series of conversations begun in 1983 in which we inquired into David Bohm's suggestion that a pervasive incoherence in the process of human thought is the essential cause of the endless crises affecting mankind.

		Like many young idealists in the late 1930s (including Oppenheimer himself), Bohm and his colleagues were attracted to alternative models of society, and were active in organizations like the Young Communist League, the Campus Committee to Fight Conscription, and the Committee for Peace Mobilization (all would be branded Communist fronts by the FBI under J.
		Though Oppenheimer had asked Bohm to work with him at Los Alamos, the top-secret laboratory established in 1942 to design the weapon, the head of the Manhattan Project, General Leslie Groves, would not approve his security clearance, after tip-offs about Bohm's politics (Bohm's friend, Joseph Weinberg, was also then under suspicion for espionage).
		In May 1949, at the beginning of the McCarthyism hysteria period, Bohm was called upon to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee because of his previous ties to suspected Communists, but pleaded the Fifth amendment right to decline to testify, and refused to give evidence against his colleagues.

		Professor David Bohm is Emeritus Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of London.
		Bohm goes on to point out that the cohesiveness of the group allows the participants to become coherent at the "tacit level." This unspoken level of communication that develops slowly in a dialogue group has the potential for holding tremendous power that can fuel grassroots changes in a society.
		Bohm says that discussions and negotiations are not dialogue, because each represents a process whereby someone tries to "win" or convince others to assume the views of another.

	David Bohm's Vision (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		For Bohm it is the plenum; it is an "immense background of energy." The energy of this ground is likened to one whole and unbroken movement by Bohm.
		Bohm puts it thus: "The perception of whether or not any particular thoughts are relevant or fitting requires the operation of an energy that is not mechanical, an energy that we shall call intelligence." He continues: "For example, one may be working on a puzzling problem for a long time.
		Bohm does not believe that there is disorder at the level of the non-human universality, rather it is at the level of humanity--mainly because of ignorance.
