The discussion revolves around the absence of charge in the Schrödinger Equation, contrasting it with Newton's equations of motion. Participants are exploring the implications of this absence within the context of quantum physics.
The conversation is ongoing, with participants providing insights into the relationship between charge and the equations in question. There is an indication of understanding emerging, particularly regarding the role of the Hamiltonian in the Schrödinger Equation.
Participants are referencing specific educational material, which may impose certain constraints on the discussion. The nature of the force in Newton's equation and the Hamiltonian in the Schrödinger Equation are under consideration, but no definitive conclusions have been reached.

arkajad said:Well, there is no charge in Newton's equation, why there should be charge in Schrödinger's equation? The charge may appear in Newton's equation when you specify the force. It may appear in the Schrödinger equation when you specify the Hamiltonian.
