Editorial Reviews

Review

'This is a brilliant book, of great depth and originality. Every physicist and physics student who wants to understand quantum mechanics should read this book.' - Physics Today

'A remarkable piece of work.' - Times Higher Education Supplement

'One of the most important works on quantum theory to appear during the last twenty years.' - Journal of Consciousness Studies

'This is a rich and stimulating book. It is indispensable reading for anyone with a serious interest in the interpretation of quantum theory.' - John Polkinghorne

'You will be very impressed by this wise and deep book that will certainly broaden your horizens and start you thinking about many things you thought you were sure of.' - Science

'This book disturbs the reader, because the profound originality of its thinking differs so much from mainstream physics and from what the new age has made of physics. It could be that it will in the course of time disturb also the course of physics.' - Network

'An important, forward-looking book.' - New Scientist

From the Back Cover

'In The Undivided Universe, ' Professor David Bohm, one of the foremost scientific thinkers and one of the most distinguished physicists of his generation, presents a radically different approach to quantum theory.

D. Bohm was way ahead of his time. Someday he will receive his recognition. I am guessing another 20-30 years.
His ideas are difficult if not impossible for us to prove.

Hopefully others will continue in his vein.

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2004

In this book, David Bohm's (probably) last major work before his death, Bohm and Hiley outline in some detail Bohm's original work on the "quantum potential" which he developed from de Broglie's earlier attempts some years ago. This book brings together Bohm and Hiley's work dealing with the quantum potential approach for varied quantum phenomena such as photon absorption, photon emission, the measurement problem in quantum physics and so on. Throughout it is wise to remind oneself of Bohm's comment on this approach when he stated that it is only one possible exploration of an idea and not meant as a final theory by any means. Bohm points out repeatedly that in order to develop the quantum theory further it needs new concepts/philosophy to delve into deeper aspects of reality. If these thoughts are not kept in mind then one gets the distinct feeling that there is something incomplete in the work as it stands. Bohm's attempts at another approach are made through his ideas of the holomovement or implicate order which, although nebulous, is explored in its principals at least as in much of Bohm's other works.

I don't believe, like other reviewers have stated, that these ideas are vacuuous. New ideas are absoltely necessary in contemporary physics where the pure mathematical developments of string theory feel empty of real depth. Although speculative, at least Bohm's ideas sound physical and have a physical underpinning as those of Schroedinger, Heisenberg and Bohr in the early 20th century. The difference is that these other great physicists had some experimental work to guide them, Bohm does not, or very little. His ideas rely on the ability of experiments to probe deeper levels of reality between what is possible now say 10^-15 m and 10^-35 m, the Planck length. There exists a huge range of orders of magnitude to explore. I believe in fact the last couple of chapters of the book are the really interesting bits which contain such deeper explorations.

It is unfortunate Bohm died early and it is hopefull that Hiley et al will continue his great work with the same radical enthusiasm and not be unconsciously hamstrung by the current mechanistic paradigm.

A comprehensive description of a novel approach to quantum physics

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2011

This book puts forward a coherent description of Bohmian mechanics, a theory that is not widely accepted, and has also been challenged by experiment [1,2]. Even if Bohmian mechanics is unable to describe every system, it is still conceivable that this approach may be of value as a computational scheme for addressing certain problems. Because Bohmian mechanics envisions an actual particle responding to a specially modified potential, Monte Carlo calculations may be used to simulate processes such as electron transport [3,4].

[1] M. Baublitz, Phys. Rev A 51, 1677 (1995).

[2] G. Brida et al., J. Phys. B 35, 4751 (2002).

[3] X. Oriols et al. Appl. Phys. Lett. 72, 806 (1998).

[4] L. Shifren and D. K. Ferry, Phys. Lett. A 285, 217 (2001).

Bohm and Hiley also consider the philosophical implications of Bohmian mechanics, as well as that of other interpretations of quantum physics such as parallel universes.

I had heard Bohm speak while I was in grad school, but was completely snowed. All I can remember of the lecture was Bohm saying "Folding unfolding, folding unfolding...," which was meaningless to me at the time. After reading Bohm and Hiley I have a somewhat better idea what Bohm was saying--which seems to be something to the effect that the universe is an undivided whole and not just a bunch of particles wizzing around and sometimes coming together. I still have a lot of work to do, however, before I can consider myself to have a good understanding of Bohm's world view.

An alternative to the Copenhagen Interpretation

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2000

The authors present a different interpretation of quantum mechanics to the orthodox Copenhagen intepretation. For the serious student of quantum mechanics interested in looking at the field from a fresh perspective, Bohm and Hiley's interpretation is very interesting. Bohm is one of the great physicists of the 20th century who understood quantum mechanics as well as anyone. His 1951 textbook on the subject is a classic. Interestingly, he presented the Copenhagen intepretation in this textbook, but a few years later published articles on his ontological or hidden variable interpretation which is the presented in "The Undivided Universe." A cautionary note is this book is not for the lay person.
