In quantum mechanics, superposition theory explains how an electron may occupy two distinct spatial coordinates concurrently. It seems to me that the implied assumption is that the quantum-level discontinuity is spatial. Why would it not be just as reasonable to assume the discontinuity resides on the temporal dimension, and that while the temporal relationship between location A and the observer, and location B and the observer is equivalent, that the temporal relationship between location A and B is not? In other words, from A with respect to B, the object does NOT exist at the same time. The temporal relationship between A and B may be other, complex, or non-existent? Any thoughts (and math!) to straighten me out?
