Abstract

David Bohm was a Ph.D. student of Robert Oppenheimer at the University of California at Berkeley. In 1943, after Oppenheimer was appointed as the director of the Manhattan project, Bohm’s communist affiliations made him a security risk, and thus, he was not accepted into the Manhattan project to develop the atomic bomb.
