Abstract
IN THIS PAPER I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS, in a simple way, applying Bohm’s theory to general relativity and string theory. Ordinarily, I would preface this with the reasons why I think this is worth doing. But Jim Cushing, in his contribution to this volume, explains, better than I ever could, the advantages of Bohm theory as an interpretation of quantum mechanics. So I will just refer you to his paper.
