One's reach shold exceed ones grasp Gib, would you not agree-lol? The shrodenger equation comes up a lot in quantum physics. It was a milstone in physics like the HUP was. Roger Penrose said he felt the universe started from a state of low entropy because the shrodenger equation for curved space equaled the background radiation. Even if one does not understand that it is important information. One can go back and work on it. When I read an explanation of Einsteins theory of relativity I can understand it, but once I leave it I cannot carry my understanding of it. Too abstract. For 100 years mathematicians and engineers had calculated there could not be 100 foot waves except one every 10,000 years. So they built the ships strength accordingly. Satellites proved that 100 foot waves were happening all the time and they were being caused a quantum effect where one wave borrows energy from another; and as I remember the shrodenger equation was used there as well. One understands things the best they can, but one should not shirk from attempting to understand just because they cannot understand something perfectly or at first. I often have little understanding of much of my reading. In my younger years it was trying to understand things like existentialism, or Plato, or Hesse or Nietzsche, today it is vacuums and the quantum world in particular and science in general, and to mention the economic world. Constantly dealing with things you do not understand at first is the only path to knowledge IMO. Isn't that what you guys teach at the university? Like the sound of one hand clapping-lol.
