On the Uncertainty of the Ordering of Nonlocal Wavefunction Collapse when Relativity is Considered

Quantum Physics 2014-05-27 v1

Abstract

The temporal measurement order and therefore the originator of the instantaneous collapse of the wavefunction of a spatiality entangled particle pair can change depending on the reference frame of an observer. This can lead to a paradox in which its seems that both measurements collapsed the wavefunction before the other. We resolve this paradox by demonstrating how attempting to determine the order of measurement of the entangled pair introduces uncertainty which makes the measurement order impossible to know.
