In matrix mechanics, the wave function is replaced by a vector, and collapse is replaced by a projection onto a basis vector. Projections are not unitary (except for the identity matrix), and that is the problem with any collapse type theory. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders Visiting Senior Research Fellow [email protected] Economics, Kingston University http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
