Please pardon me if this is a silly question (I'm a Math/Elec.Eng. grad, not
physics), but can one tell that a wave function has collapsed at a certain
distant point before light from that point would have arrived? If not, then
does the simultaneous collapse of that wave function everywhere transmit
information at faster than light speeds? If not, what's the paradox?
