What do "psi" and "collapse" mean?
Just as "Millie, micro, nano, and pico" are Millie’s magic words to shrink smaller and smaller, "Psi" and "Collapse" are the electron’s special words for switching between its wave and particle forms.
If you’ve read the article Millie, micro, nano, and pico, you already know these words...…

Wave function
In Book 1 Millie wonders about the location of the electron that transformed into a wave. The answer she receives is: "Probably not far, but it could be anywhere."
The word probably was not chosen by chance. In fact, it is impossible to know exactly where the electron is. But we can ask: "wh...…
