David Bohm (1917–92) was a man of principle. He refused to denounce fellow members of the Communist Party in the US during the McCarthy era, and he insisted that physicists should search for an explanation of quantum phenomena when almost all physicists believed that none existed.
Feb 27, 1993 · Last words of a quantum heretic: Just before he died, the physicist David Bohm explained his life-long quest to understand the Universe and how he developed his alternative view of the quantum...
Jun 26, 2018 · David Bohm is famous for re-invigorating and developing the “pilot wave” interpretation of quantum mechanics (QM) originally articulated in 1926 by Louis de Broglie. Bohm’s theory envisages a world of particles which all have definite momenta and positions, albeit the values of which are generally inaccessible.
