David Bohn

[SusanB-M1]

Sorry to be starting a new topic just to ask a question about David Bohn but I couldn't see anywhere else to tag it onto. I find it extremely difficult to use the 'search' facility.

David Bohn was mentioned in a topic on GH, by a poster who leans towards woo! I listened to the Wikipedia page, and it would seem that he turned somewhat to the paranormal later in life.

I wonder if anyone knows more, or can direct me to a previous topic about him. Wikipedia mentions that he used to talk to Rupert Sheldrake so my sceptical antennae were immediately alert!

Any assistance on this would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

David Bohm?

That looks like the guy Susan is searching for.

Like Linus Pauling and William Shockley, just because you are smart it does not mean you know everything.

thank you for your posts, plus the link. Yes, that is the page I read. I have been thinking about this and have just googled 'debunking David Bohn' anda New Scientist article came up, but although I could hear a little, it seems to be behind a pay wall.

It is such a pity that the scientists, who contribute so much to, in Bohnb's case, to quantum mechanics apparently , then wander off into the world of woo.

I tried googling for his later life, but google only came up with a set of you tubes

Searching for Bohm might help.

Sorry. I used the Canadian phonetic pronunciation.

'Thank you, but apology unnecessary! It is very hard to tell the difference listening to Synthetic Dave!
