Subject: 1926, Mathematical "Wave Mechanics"

In 1926, Erwin Schroedinger presented a (Mathematical) "Wave
Equation": [i(h bar)] times [(partial derivative psi) / (partial derivative t)] = [i(h bar)(h bar)/(2m)] times {[(Part. derivative of psi)/(partial derivative xx)]+[(part. der. psi)/(part. der. yy)]+[(part. der. psi)/(part. der. zz)]}V(x,y,z)Psi. The linear WAVE equation of a hydrogen atom. ---
-----------------------------------------------------------
Thus, Planck, Bohr, Compton, de Broglie, Born, Jordan, Schroedinger, Heisenberg, Dirac, Dierichlet, Etc, not only
continued with Mathematics as the "Language" of Physics. They used unique, Mathematical techniques, to theoretically
present Universal forces; that could not be seen, captured or measured. ---
Schroedinger's "Wave Mechanics" developed into the powerful resovling (Mathematical) "Quantum Mechanics". ---
When in 1942, Enrico Fermi lead a group of Math.Physicists
to obtain Fission Energy on Earth; that occurs on the surface of the Sun!--- Appeared that 'all' had been 'solved'
or 'naturally' would be Solved by "Quantum Mechanics".
