41- SOCIAL SCIENTIST usual theory. It is postulated that Schrodingcr's equation is itself an approximate relation and a more accurate i elation would be having some non-linearity. Only such a theory would be able to account for the plethora of particles discovered in atomic processes. Bourn's theory gives all the results of the usual quantum theory, and in fact coincides with the usual theory in all its relations at the levels so far observed. But it differs from the usual theory in the level of details and makes certain predictions in the realm of very high energies and very short distance? (of the order of a millionth of a millionth of a millimeter;. Physics Rescued Bohm's work rescued pinsics Horn the sterility which positivist ideology had injected into the whole of western science. The large volume of research a 1 along the lines of causal interpretation which followed testifies to this. But more important, Bohm rescued physics from the subjecti-vist degeneration that the Copenhagen interpretation led to. By giving a physical reality to <^, he brought it back to physics. By approaching the uncertainty principle as a technical limitation imposed by the particular historical stage, he showed how the subject-object relation can be put in the proper way (Figure II).
