| Jul 31 at 14:46 | comment | added | Hans Wurst | Solving the Schrödinger equation is already an impossibility for the vast majority of chemical systems, even more so for macro molecules and biological systems. I don't think anyone will break his head in the fields of chemistry and biology over QFT as long as we have so much difficulties to take that lower hurdle. | |
| Jul 31 at 8:48 | comment | added | AakashM | The idea that anyone could accurately predict the timeline of the dawning of human understanding, let alone that something will not be understood "for thousands of years", seems... questionable | |

| Jul 29 at 18:19 | comment | added | BioPhysicist | @naturallyInconsistent Well then that information sounds more useful as a comment :) | |
| Jul 29 at 18:13 | comment | added | naturallyInconsistent | @BioPhysicist was just giving a stub answer; surely this has been asked before, so it should be closed as duplicate. Didn't want to add an answer too early. | |
| Jul 29 at 17:56 | comment | added | BioPhysicist | @naturallyInconsistent This reads more like an answer than a suggestion to edit or a clarifying question | |

| Jul 29 at 17:50 | comment | added | naturallyInconsistent | The problems you are raising are all only in the mathematical, technical details, sense. Chemistry and upwards, those difficulties do not cause trouble. This is because all the phenomena are low-energy, even though they come with new problems of their own, namely complexity. More is indeed different. If we really need precision, we can import the corrections from QED onto approximate bound states. | |
