Negating the ability of the human intellect alone to fathom ultimate reality, Bohm, then, challenged the scientific world to adopt a more profound understanding. He saw, perhaps intuitively, that it is ultimately meaningless to see the universe as composed of parts, or disconnected, since everything is joined, space and time being composed of the same essence as matter. Reality, then, is not material in any common sense of the word. It is something far more ineffable. Physicists call this Non-Locality.
Mystics call it oneness.
In spite of those who disagreed, Bohm evolved a yet more profound understanding, that of an interconnected whole with a conscious essence, where all matter and events interact with one another, because time, space and distance are an illusion relative to perspective. He developed, in fact, a holographic model of the universe, where the whole can be found in the most minute part, a blade of grass, an atom, and where matter, circumstance and dimension result from holographic projections of subtle, but powerful, conscious energy. Actual location and, by extension, the shape-shifting of particles, all manifest reality, in fact, exist only in the context of relative appearances. David Bohm brought to physics and the scientific world the understanding that has propelled mystics and sages since the dawn of time. Rejecting the idea that particles do not exist until they are observed, he, like Noble laureate and renowned physicist Brian Josephson, saw that physics must see the nature of subatomic reality in a new way.
