- Nick is probably referring to Dr. David Bohm (highly respected quantum physicist,
- former protege of Einstein's, and author of the classic textbook on Quantum Physics
- used by most universities around the world) and a host of other scientists who

-
- For a good laymen's introduction to this model, try reading "The Holographic Universe"
- by Michael Talbot, which can be found in most bookstores in the Science section.
