- TL;DR Summary
- Did David Bohm ever propose or agree with the existence of some kind of multiverse?
David Deutsch, a theoretical physicist, talks about David Bohm in his book "the Fabric of Reality":
"[w]orking out what Bohm’s invisible wave will do requires the same computations as working out what trillions of shadow photons will do. Some parts of the wave describe us, the observers, detecting and reacting to the photons; other parts of the wave describe other versions of us, reacting to photons in different positions. Bohm’s modest nomenclature – referring to most of reality as a ’wave’ – does not change the fact that in his theory reality consists of large sets of complex entities, each of which can perceive other entities in its own set, but can only indirectly perceive entities in other sets. These sets of entities are, in other words, parallel universes. (Deutsch 1997, p. 56)"
Does this mean that Bohmian Mechanics or any other "Bohmian" ideas (like the Implicate-Explicate order) yields the existence of some kind of multiverse?
