"A particle is described by a wave function which gives you a probability function of where it might be."
When you say particle you mean an "elementary particle" yeah?
"You don't actually know until you take a measurement."
With what? some sort of gizmo on a particle accelator?
"Once you take a measurement, the space wave function collapses to a point (causing the momentum wave function to spread to infinity). "
like dipping your fingers into a liquid and a ripple effect? or are you saying its like a policeman asking a ganster what happened and the ganster drops dead? or explodes?
