What would be the similarities and differences if live in a universe in which nuclei(eg proton in an H atom) have a negative charge and electrons have a positive charge? Support ideas with quantum mechanics...

Last question..what would be the consequences if time continually decreases rather than increase. Again support ideas with quantum mech/mathematics.

In the second part, are you asking what would happen if time is reversed? If so, than I say let's also switch left and right. Then we have reversed charge, time, and direction. In this case nothing will change since field theory is CPT invariant.

If you want to look at each case specifically, the processes may change depending on what you are looking at.

In summary, if we flip the charges, reverse time and space, nothing will change, but if we only do one or two of these it depends.

Technicaly this answer is correct, but a better answer would be I don't know?

If one cannot physically test an idea then one predicts the results using quantum mechanics one comes up with the answer given but what about QED no not Quantum electro Dynamics which was to be proven.

The answer is I can make a guess but I don't know wether it's right or indeed If what I'm basing my guessing on is in fact true ergo ?

Philosophy I know but what if quantum mechanics is wrong?

It at leasts bares thinking about
 
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
