About
David Joseph Bohm was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. He was an American physicist who has been described as one of the most significant theoretical physicists of the 20th century and who contributed innovative and unorthodox ideas to quantum theory, neuropsychology and the philosophy of mind. He also believed that the working of the brain, at the cellular level, obeyed the mathematics of some quantum effects, and postulated that thought was distributed and non-localised in the way that quantum entities do not readily fit into our conventional model of space and time. Bohm remained in Berkeley, teaching physics, until he completed his Ph.D. in 1943, by an unusual circumstance. After the war, Bohm became an assistant professor at Princeton University, where he worked closely with Albert Einstein. His first book, Quantum Theory published in 1951, was well received by Einstein, among others. He was Professor of Theoretical Physics at Birkbeck College, University of London, from 1961 to 1987.
