What If RealQM Indeed Works?

RealQM is an alternative to StdQM based on an alternative Schrödinger Equation SE assuming electrons are non-overlapping unit charge densities subject to Coulomb potentials without self-interaction in terms of classical continuum mechanics in 3 space dimensions with in principle linear computational complexity in number of electrons. 

RealQM can serve as a Foundation of Chemistry FoC because SE serves as a parameter-free computable model of molecules as atoms subject to chemical bonding with only case specific input. 

StdQM is viewed to be insufficient as FoC because chemical bonding is not covered and so requires extra physics outside StdQM viewed as specific elements of chemistry or "rules of thumb" and not physics. 

It may thus be possible to view Chemistry as "Applied RealQM", while this is not possible for StdQM.

If RealQM indeed shows to capture physics of molecules, then the "rules of thumb" may be given true physics support insofar they capture reality, and then be an expression of successful reductionism. 

To experimentally verify or disprove the basic assumption of RealQM:

  • Electron non-overlapping unit charge densities subject to Coulomb potentials without self-interaction. 
may be impossible. But since the SE RealQM is computable for a large variety of molecules with mesh resolution as only non-case specific input, it is possible to make extensive comparisons between predictions of RealQM and observations. 

The experience collected so far does not disprove that RealQM indeed can work. If it does, there may be some little hope out of the present crisis of modern physics.
