Didin't Schrödinger pretty much guess Schrödinger's equation anyway? From what I recall, his justification for the equation was distinctly not very sound...

/off topic.



In maths, we're always taught things in a very formal manner :)

Dunno...just picked the most complicated thing off the top of my head.

The point is, things are often taught at face value: 'this is the way things are, don't question it'. Like mass - why know things have mass but *why* is not taught because that falls in the purview of quantum physics and is not quite appropriate for your VCE Physics student, yet.

In a way, that's abstraction of the quantum mechanics behind mass.

wasn't one of the purposes of the Large Hadron (not Hardon) Collider was to discover the properties of mass i think?
