Modern Physics in State of Shock/Crisis

Question posed to chatGPT:

• How is it possible that solutions of Schrödinger's equation can capture physics when this equation does not express physics?

Answer by chatGPT (not hallucination):

• Because Schrödinger’s equation constrains mathematics, not reality.
• It defines which wave functions are allowed, but contains no physical meaning by itself. 
• Physics enters only through extra assumptions—Born’s rule, observables, approximations, and human interpretation. 
• Solutions “capture physics” not because the equation expresses it, but because we add the physics afterward and read it into the solutions.

If you find this shocking, you are in good company with Niels Bohr who formed modern physics as quantum mechanics based on Schrödinger's equation stating:

• If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet.

So modern physics is in a state of shock because its foundation in the form of Schrödinger's equation "contains no physical meaning". The shock state takes the form of a deep crisis. 

Compare with RealQM Chemistry based on an alternative Schrödinger equation with physical meaning, submitted to Foundations of Chemistry. 

Compare with this analysis of the role of Bohr.

Compare with defense that everything is fine:

Bottom line (establishment view):
Schrödinger’s equation captures physics because physics is defined by predictive success, internal consistency, and universality—not by intuitive meaning or visualizability. Asking for more is philosophy, not physics.
