Brazil, Israel, and the U.K. -- From the Causal Interpretation to the Wholeness and Order – The First Stage of the London Years (1960-1979) -- The Quest for Compatibility between the Causal Interpretation and the Wholeness Approach (1979-1992) -- Epilogue -- The legacy of David Bohm in physics – An essay in scientometry.This authoritative biography addresses the life and work of the quantum physicist David Bohm. Although quantum physics is considered the soundest physical theory, its strange and paradoxical features have challenged - and continue to challenge - even the brightest thinkers. David Bohm dedicated his entire life to enhancing our understanding of quantum mysteries, in particular quantum nonlocality. His work took place at the height of the cultural/political upheaval in the 1950's, which led him to become the most notable American scientist to seek exile in the last century. The story of his life is as fascinating as his ideas on the quantum world are appealing.Springer Biographies,2365-0613PhysicsQuantum theoryPhilosophy and scienceHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000Quantum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080Philosophy of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34000Physics.Quantum theory.Philosophy and science.History and Philosophical Foundations of Physics.Quantum Physics.Philosophy of Science.530.01530.092Freire Junior Olivalauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061443BOOK9910349502103321David Bohm2543445UNINA
