The first equation of the left hand side is the Schrodinger Equation of the Harmonic Oscillator.The second equation of the left hand side is the new equation doing by the Dimensions Analysts. But I don't understand how the new equation come from according with Dimension Analysts of the right hand side...
How the new equation have the extra term ,why not just E=ħw ?[emoji53]

##P_o## and ##X_o## have the dimension of momentum and displacement respectively. Thus, the terms inside the bracket in the 2nd equation in the LHS is dimensionless and the dimension of ##\hat{E}## is determined by ##\hbar \omega## alone.

The new equation is obtained by factoring out ##\hbar \omega## from the first equation.
 
I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
