Great question, which I am not qualified to answer with any confidence.
I do think that SI units are the bedrocks of Schrodinger's equation. Plank's constant is a physical value and is expressed in SI units.
Position and time are covered by SI units and so is the Hamiltonian as the sum of energy values. Hertz is a derivative SI unit. Again, maybe in ignorance, I think all values of the four forces in physics are measured in SI units or their derivatives.
Maybe there are others on this forum with professional training, who will weigh in?
Thanks for your kind words.
I'm sure SI units are going to struggle with quantum entanglement/spooky action at a distance, yet they appear to exist.
So... Are entangled particles "aware" of each other? Depends on your definition of "aware" I guess. Is an atomic nucleus aware of it's electrons. Perhaps awareness (or the appearance of it) really is everywhere, but tricky to measure.
But specifically, do you think the elements when arranged in a certain way, as in an animal, can create something non-elemental?
