The film records the interference between the light waves hitting it directly and the light waves reflected from the object.
2Ī hologram is a form of lensless photography in which a laser simultaneously illuminates an object and a piece of film. Josephson believes that Bohms implicate order may someday even lead to the inclusion of God within the framework of science, an idea Josephson supports. Among those who are sympathetic, however, are Roger Penrose of Oxford, the creator of the modern theory of black holes Bernard dEspagnat of the University of Paris, one of the leading authorities on the conceptual foundations of quantum theory and, Cambridges Brian Josephson, winner of the 1973 Nobel Prize in physics. Many physicists remain skeptical of Bohms ideas. This view is not inconsistent with the Biblical presentation of the physical world being subordinate to the spiritual world, which is the superior reality. Bohm calls this deeper level of reality the implicate (enfolded) order and he refers to our level of existence the explicate (unfolded) order. Underlying it is a deeper order of existence, a vast and more primary level of reality that gives birth to all the objects and appearances of our physical world in much the same way that a piece of holographic film gives birth to a hologram. One of Bohms most startling suggestions is that the tangible reality of our everyday lives is really a kind of illusion, like a holographic image. Physicists call this property '' nonlocality.'' All points in space become equal to all other points in space, and it was meaningless to speak of anything as being separate from anything else. Bohms interpretation of quantum physics indicated that at the subquantum level location ceased to exist. One of the implications of Bohms view has to do with the nature of location. While at Princeton, Bohm and Einstein developed a supportive relationship and shared their mutual restlessness regarding the strange implications of current quantum theory.
Bohms sense of the importance of inter-connectedness, as well as years of dissatisfaction with the inability of the standard theories to explain all of the phenomena encountered in quantum physics, left him searching. Moving to Princeton University in 1947, there too Bohm continued his work in the behavior of oceans of particles, noting their highly organized overall effects, and their behaving as if they knew what each of the untold trillions of individual particles were doing. While at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, he noticed that in plasmas (gases composed of high density electrons and positive ions) the particles stopped behaving like individuals and started behaving as if they were part of a larger and interconnected whole. The main architect of this astonishing idea includes one of the worlds most eminent thinkers: University of London physicist David Bohm, a protg of Einsteins and one of the worlds most respected quantum physicists.īohms work in plasma physics is considered a landmark.
There also seems to be evidence to suggest that our world and everything in it consists only of ghostly images, projections from a level of reality so beyond our own that the real reality is literally beyond both space and time. We touched on some of the bizarre discoveries of quantum physics, including the nature of hyperspaces and the discovery that our physical universe appears to consist of more than the three dimensions we commonly experience. Last month we began our inquiry of ''What Is Truth?'' by examining the boundaries of our reality.
