Question posed to chatGPT:
- How is it possible that solutions of Schrödinger's equation can capture physics when this equation does not express physics?
- 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 quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet.
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.
