David Bohm is recognized among Jewish contributors to Philosophy & Social Sciences — Theoretical physicist and philosopher of science, wholeness and implicate order
David Bohm was a leading theoretical physicist who developed an alternative (causal, or pilot-wave) interpretation of quantum mechanics and later a philosophy of wholeness and the 'implicate order.' His textbook and his work on plasmas (the Bohm diffusion) shaped mid-century physics. Born to a Jewish immigrant family — his father was a Hungarian-Jewish furniture-store owner — Bohm was of documented Jewish origin.
