In 1928, Dirac took the relativistic energy relation and forced it into a Schrodinger-like structure. The result was revolutionary; antimatter, spin, and a new understanding of matter itself. That move reshaped physics.
What I’m doing here is challenging a different assumption in the opposite direction—and yes, I know it immediately sounds like crackpot physics or numerology. That reaction is understandable after a century of abstract frameworks like many-worlds or extra dimensions.
But if you have a physics background, are a physics student, or seriously care about foundations, I think you owe it to yourself to at least read it. Assume it’s wrong—that’s fine. If you’re certain it’s wrong after reading, great. But if it’s right, even partially, it changes how you think about quantum mechanics, relativity, and what “fundamental” really means. Openly challenging foundations is a choice, and I’m making it deliberately.
Actual Title: Schrödinger Can Give You Relativity; Classical = Quantum Equation
