In the landscape of 20th-century physics and philosophy, David Bohm emerges as a prominent figure, capable of crossing the frontiers between science and spirituality. His ideas on implicit order and holography not only influenced the field of quantum physics, but also opened new avenues for contemporary philosophical thought. Bohm was born in 1917 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, into a family of Jewish descent. Growing up in an era marked by global conflicts and political turmoil-think of the Great Depression and World War II-the young Bohm developed an insatiable curiosity about the world around him. He earned a Ph.D. under Robert Oppenheimer at UC Berkeley. The scientific revolution that characterized quantum physics in the 1930s and 1940s saw the flourishing of theories that challenged human intuition. However, while many physicists devoted themselves to complicated mathematical structures, Bohm focused on a simple but profound idea: that of an "implicit order." In contrast to "explicit order," which represents manifested and observable reality, implicit order refers to a deeper level of reality, a kind of underlying order that connects all that exists. This idea parallels ancient concepts found in philosophical and spiritual traditions, such as the Tao of Taoism or the Advaita Vedanta of Hinduism, suggesting a kind of fundamental unity among all things. Bohm argued that our perception of reality is limited and that science should seek to explore hidden dimensions to arrive at a more complete understanding of the universe. Bohm did not just elaborate scientific theories; his desire for open and sincere dialogue led him to collaborate with figures such as the philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti, with whom he had a long and fruitful intellectual exchange. One of Bohm's most memorable phrases remains: "Our view of the world is disrupted by the fragmentation between things and between us and what we observe." This statement perfectly sums up his belief that to truly understand reality, it was necessary to take an integrative and holistic approach. Although Bohm was deeply rooted in science, his vision ranged far beyond the confines of the laboratory. In "The Wholeness and the Implicate Order," one of his most famous works first published in 1980, Bohm proposes his ideas about the implicate order and the nature of reality. In the book he writes: "The hologram is an example of how each part contains the whole. Every piece of information is implied in every part, and the parts depend on each other." David Bohm's life and work invite us to explore not only the laws of physics, but also the deeper connections between science, philosophy and spirituality. "Epigraphic" definitions of his human journey could be summarized in these terms: A thinker beyond boundaries: Bohm explored what lay beyond the accepted frontiers of science, pushing into the realm of philosophy and metaphysics. The physicist of wholeness: He believed in a holistic view of the universe, where everything is interconnected, as expressed in his theory of implicate order. A Science Rebel: His ideas, often at odds with the dominant thinking of his time, reflected an independent and innovative spirit. A seeker of the fundamental unity: Bohm aimed to discover the hidden unity underlying the phenomenal world. A pioneer of dialogue and a new humanism: Not just a scientist, Bohm promoted "Bohmian dialogue" as a method for overcoming the barriers of communication and fragmented thinking. These brief definitions represent a synthesis of his intellectual and human character, distinguished by the constant search for a deep and unified reality, both in physics and in thought. The title definition (man out of place) is meant to sum up all these characteristics, but adjectives such as: unaligned, uncomfortable, heretic, idealist, visionary, intellectually honest could have been used equally.
