Re: Wave functions and psi similar?
 In response to (pur-phy.320) about the Schrodinger Equation having
time derivatives in it:  I am not sure that this really
clear up the apparent paradox over faster than light "motion".  There
are many forms of the Schrodinger Eq. which are degenerate
and have on temporal component.  I think many electron orbits
can be represented by this sort of standing wave.
 [sorry, that should be NO temporal component, above]

 I wonder if the paradox may be resolved by taking into account
the fact that in order to observe anything, we have to interact
with and disturb it's wave function, thus (perhaps) changing any
probabilities of observation elsewhere.
