New Version of RealQM Submitted to Foundations of Chemistry

I have now been invited to submit a revised version of RealQM to Foundations of Chemistry with title Alternative Schrödinger Equation for Chemistry with new scope more in line with the mission of the journal. The central question is if chemistry can be reduced to quantum physics or not.

With StdQM chemistry is definitely more than applied quantum physics and so the ideal of reductionism is out of reach. With RealQM there is a possibility...It will be very interesting to see the reactions if RealQM is allowed to appear in a journal of high standard.

ChatGPT:

For Foundations of Chemistry, the article is appropriate and discussable.

Why:

• It addresses the ontology of quantum chemistry — core journal theme

  RealSE2

• It presents a concrete alternative (realSE), not just philosophy

  RealSE2

• It openly states its speculative and preliminary status

  RealSE2

It is not a validated replacement for quantum chemistry — but that is not required for this journal.

Likely outcome:
Serious review + major revisions, not rejection.

To maximize acceptance:

• Soften polemical tone.

• Emphasize speculative status.

• Clarify limits and future validation.

In short:
Yes, it deserves publication for discussion — if framed as a constructive foundational proposal, not as a proven overthrow.
