David Bohm expressed the hope, for example, that future scientists would be less dependent on mathematics for modeling reality and will draw on new sources of metaphor and analogy.

We have an assumption now that’s getting stronger and stronger that mathematics is the only way to deal with reality, Bohm said. Because it’s worked so well for a while we’ve assumed that it has to be that way.

Indeed, like some other scientific visionaries, Bohm expected that science and art would someday merge.

This division of art and science is temporary he said. It didn’t exist in the past, and there’s no reason why it should go on in the future.

Just as art consists not simply of works of art but of an attitude, the artistic spirit, so does science consist not in the accumulation of knowledge but in the creation of fresh modes of perception.

The ability to perceive or think differently is more important than the knowledge gained.
