When physics began to give non-intuitive results, in QM *and* Relativity, people when overboard. Now any patently absurd result finds its justification among true believers. So what happened to the (non-covariant) wf after the measurement? Nothing. Like a horserace when it reaches conclusion, it's no longer applicable. That simple! The collapse hypothesis is just a bookkeeping device to get rid of it! AG -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
