:But I don't think your wording that "predicting how and where the wave function will collapse is a meaningless endeavor," is quite accurate. Isn't that the same as "it might not be that particles move randomly, they just move in a way we cannot explain"?

:(By the way, you can automatically sign your posts with four tildas (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>), and indent with a colon at the start of the line.) --[[User:EvanW|EvanW]] 18:44, 9 December 2009 (EST)

I don't think there is much of a reason behind predicting the collapse of a wave function or discussing it. Like I said the collapse of a wave function is a consequence of measurement and as we know measurement changes what we're measuring. So in a way the collapse of a wave function only occurs when you are no longer looking at what you wanted to look at. (I wish there was a better way to say that).
BTW thanks for the tilda thing I was trying to figure that out. [[User:Swifty|Swifty]] 19:05, 9 December 2009 (EST)
