"For information on his work at Berkeley and his dealings with HUAC, or is it HCUA"
for discussion of whether it's HUAC or HCUA, see House Committee on Un-American Activities discussion wherein it is claimed HCUA is correct, and join the fray.
Did he die Oct 22 or Oct 27? Kwantus 20:30, 2005 Jan 1 (UTC)
- I looked up the NYT obituary on ProQuest and it said Oct. 27. --Fastfission 21:18, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] typo
"Pribram believes that if psychology is to understand the conditions that produce the world of appearances, it must hook to the thinking of physicists like Bohm."
"Pribram believes that if psychology is to understand the conditions that produce the world of appearances, it must look to the thinking of physicists like Bohm."
is this a typo? either word works, but i assumed that the intended word was hook . . . Heah 01:32, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] rewrite
The long quote should be paraphrased and summarized.
[edit] questionable formulation?
- made significant contributions in the fields of [...], and to scientists working on the Manhattan Project.
How do you make a contribution to a scientist? Could that first sentence be rewritten such that it is a little clearer to whether he contributed to the project or to the science behind? \Mike(z) 23:06, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- That is exactly what I thought on seeing it, and one has to concldue, after this long an interval, that the answer is no. I wonder where it was quoted from? Midgley 20:29, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Parked
"who made significant contributions in the fields of theoretical physics, philosophy and neuropsychology, and to scientists working on the Manhattan Project"

[edit] Missing Word Inserted
I edited the phrase
"Thought doesn't know it is doing something and then it struggles against it is doing."
to read this way:
"Thought doesn't know it is doing something and then it struggles against what it is doing."
(Italics added only to highlight the inserted word.)
I Googled the phrase and discovered that several Bohm hagiographic web sites copy this erroneous quote verbatim from Wikipedia. A few, however, have spotted the error and fixed it -- on THEIR web site!

[edit] When did he die?
At the top of the page it says "David Joseph Bohm (born December 20, 1917 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, died October 27, 1992 in London) "
Yet towards the bottom it informs us "David Bohm died of a heart attack in London on October 27, 1994."
Sorry, I don't know about this, I was just reading the page and noticed the inconsistency.
Cheers. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.89.240.153 (talk) 12:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC).
