Bohm on perception

To understand creativity we need to look at perception. If I see a circle it might just be a circle, but if you watch the circle from the side it will appear as an ellipse. If you view it from the exact side it will be a line. You can also look at it as being black. Or as being atoms, electrons, quarks. 

In the video on youtube, Bohm speaks about how science is creative and perceptual, even the word theory is a good example of this. 

Theory is derived from Theatre, . . Theories don't give knowledge, the theatre in the mind - theory, is used in science and therefore perceptual. Knowledge and science is a byproduct of perception. A chosen belief.
