By means of crystals, it has been found possible to study X-ray spectra as exactly as those of ordinary light. The great merit of Bohr’s theory was that it explained why elements have the spectra they do have, which had, before, been a complete mystery. In the cases of hydrogen and positively electrified helium, the explanation, particularly as extended by the German physicist Sommerfeld, gave the most minute…
Bertrand Russell, Philosophy
States what De Broglie–Bohm theory is.
It has been the basis of the materialistic theory, that the happenings of nature are to be explained in terms of the locomotion of material. In accordance with this principle, the waves of light were explained in terms of the locomotion of a material ether, and the internal happenings of a molecule are now explained in terms of the locomotion of separate material parts. In respect to waves of light, the material…

Close in meaning to De Broglie–Bohm theory; the term itself is not named.
In that externality it is itself and referred connectively to itself. There is a union in it of externality, _i.e._ the quantitative, and of independency (Being-for-self),--the qualitative. The Quantum when explicitly put thus in its own self, is the Quantitative Ratio, a mode of being which, while, in its Exponent, it is an immediate quantum, is also mediation, viz. the reference of some one quantum to another…
