Does it seem that the recent comments about the present state of physics (such as Dr. Bohm, Dr. Smolin, etc.), should be carefully considered in regards to what seems like a somewhat confounded, confused order as in the case of string theory and its indeterminate number of unending, dimensional comportment? I know a few such leaders in modern physics, warn of the need for a more holistic treatment including all areas in study not just theoretical physics and math.
"In an interview in 1989 at the Nils Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, where Bohm presented his views, Bohm spoke on his theory of wholeness and the implicate order. The conversation centered around a new worldview that is developing in part of the Western world, one that places more focus on wholeness and process than analysis of separate parts. Bohm explained the basics of the theory of relativity and its more revolutionary offspring, quantum theory. Either theory, if carried out to its extreme, violates every concept on which we base our understanding of reality. Both challenge our notions of our world and ourselves.

He cited evidence from both theories that support a new paradigm of a more interrelated, fluid, and less absolute basis of existence, one in which mind is an active participant. "Information contributes fundamentally to the qualities of substance." He discussed forms, fields, superconductivity, wave function and electron behavior. "Wave function, which operates through form, is closer to life and mind...The electron has a mindlike quality."
