David Bohm’s - ‘Wholeness and the Implicate Order’ .

"The essential new quality implied by the quantum theory is... that a system cannot be analyzed into parts. This leads to the radically new notion of unbroken wholeness of the entire universe. You cannot take it apart. For if you do, what you end up with is not contained within the original whole. It is created by the act of analysis."

Today’s Green Thought comes from the British quantum physicist David Bohm’s 1980 book ‘Wholeness and the Implicate Order’ .

 Today’s Green Thought comes from Andrew McLaughlin’s 1993 book ‘Regarding Nature : Industrialism and Deep Ecology’.
