Re quantum wave function remarks
Re egb's May 8 remarks:
A and B need only have synchronized clocks. Data can be compared at leisure.
What we are very close to is Dirac's theory of the electron and beyond
that, quantum electrodynamics. A relativistic theory need not be a unified
field theory.
Re Julian Davies May 7 remarks:
Wave functions most certainly do propagate! The problem being discussed
here is, to my mind, the so called *problem of measurement*, or
*reduction of the wave packet*. This process is outside the theory proper
of QM and I think that it is quite right to note that its relativistic
treatment is obscure in SCHROEDINGERS wave mechanics. It was within this
context though, that Einstein raised his objections. As to *localising
a sharp object at several different places in succession* ... exactly
the case of a particle track!
