Shortcomings of the Boltzmann physical kinetics and the Schrödinger wave mechanics are considered. From the position of nonlocal physics, the Schrödinger equation is a local equation; this fact leads to the great shortcomings of the linear Schrödinger wave mechanics. Nonlocal nonlinear quantum mechanics is considered using the wave function terminology.

Abstract While, as Feynman said, nobody can really understand the origin of the Schrödinger equation, we investigate several lines of thought leading to such an equation. We show some simple applications of the equation. An important application was Schrödinger’s solution for the hydrogen atom. This provided a theoretical basis for Bohr’s ad hoc model. We conclude with Schrödinger’s demonstration of the equivalence of his wave mechanics with Heisenberg’s matrix mechanics.
