Thanks for the suggested readings, I will look at this.
I completely understand from the mathematical framework of quantum mechanics that the measurement changes the wave function, generally from a super-position state to an eigenstate of that observable. And I also understand that measurement...
The thread title is probably confusing, but I couldn't really think of a better one. There is a basic feature of quantum mechanics that I have been puzzled by for a long time. My guess is that my issue stems from some fundamental misunderstanding of the theory, so I would appreciate any efforts...
