Bohm didn’t live to see much of this work. He died of a heart attack in the back of a London taxicab in 1992, at age seventy-four. He had survived the blacklist, he had suffered four decades of exile with dignity and integrity—and he had unequivocally proven that alternatives to Copenhagen were possible. His work put the lie to von Neumann’s proof and directly prompted Bell’s marvelous theorem. If John Bell was the father of the quantum revival, then surely David Bohm had been its grandfather.
