David Bohm is an American born theoretical physicist who made great contributions to science in his lifetime, especially in the areas of quantum theory, neuropsychology and philosophy. After graduating high school, he went on to study science in college and later filled professorships at a few universities and has written several books on quantum physics and other related sciences. Bohm’s research, over the years has become of interest to the American government. His research was instrumental in both the Manhattan Project and the Hiroshima bomb incident. Despite his significant contribution in the development of nuclear weapons for the country, this eminent scientist had to face imprisonment because of his suspected ties with the Communists. Though he was released, the incident proved to be a hindrance in his academic career as the Princeton University denied to reappoint him as a professor. This forced Bohm to leave the US and he settled in Brazil. While some of his contributions are quite controversial, his earliest work on the ‘implicate and explicate order’ has been used as the template by which much of physics and science is judged. The ideas that he has expressed over the years have opened the line of thought for many others. David Bohm was truly a pioneer of the mind and human reality
