Re: psi vs relativity vs quantum mechanics
I must agree with 99% of your arguement although the problem the
the collapsing wavefunction is certainly a very important question
and is currently a hotbed in physics.
Actually, the wavefunction (squared) <AS FIRST BROUGHT UP EINSTEIN>
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.
