So the time-dependent Schroedinger equation is how the world works, but it doesn’t do anything, and by some separate miracle the things that exist look like the time-dependent Schroedinger equation? :D
It’s only a miracle if it’s false. It would be surprising for there to be a simpler explanation than the true one, but it’s only expected for there to be a more complex one.
I guess I misread that. I still don’t understand it.
The time-independent equation is how the world works. The time-dependent one also applies, since it’s a more general case. The fact that it applies shows that the universe still looks like you’d expect it to, and it all adds up to normality.

Sounds neat!
What do you mean?

Why do you think I would say that the time-dependent Schrodinger equation doesn’t do anything if the universe is in an energy eigenstate?
