E is for explain.
This is for concepts you'd like to understand
better; not for simple one word answers,
walkthroughs, or personal problems.
LI5 means friendly, simplified and
layman-accessible explanations.
Not responses aimed at literal five year olds
(which can be patronizing).

Totally happy for you or somebody else to come along and make it simpler. Go nuts.

wow. you're kind of a dick. at some point, things get hard to explain - or rather - it
takes effort for the learner to learn it. The dude did well to explain it as simply as he
did.
Put some fucking effort in and try to understand it.

Its the fact that there was seemingly no effort to simplify any of it, not the fact
that theres obviously effort to answer it. May as well have been an answer in ask
science. No need for insults either

well, as you said wikipedia was too confusing - so clearly the responder
simplified it a certain amount. my point is that somethings are complicated.
there's a reason we don't teach this stuff to 5 year olds. it requires a sharp
mind and someone who is willing to work themselves through the complicated
mental gymnastics. you can't have everything spoon fed to you.

The Schrodinger equation is just an equation which physical things have to satisfy. By analyzing the
equation, you can determine various things about physics.

Specifically, it gives you the shape of the wave(function) an object must have in a particular
situation with a particular energy.
