Actually, the wavefunction (squared) in a sense describes the probabilty of where (say) an electron can be found. It is a measure of OUR uncertainty of where the bloody thing is. Now unless we want to limit the flow of probablity to less than the speed of light (and who knows, it might) then the collapsing wavefunction is no problem for special relativity. -- Dwight Bartholomew -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
