In response to (pur-phy.320) about the Schrodinger Equation having time derivatives in it: I am not sure that this really clear up the apparent paradox over faster than light "motion". There are many forms of the Schrodinger Eq. which are degenerate and have on temporal component. I think many electron orbits can be represented by this sort of standing wave. [sorry, that should be NO temporal component, above] I wonder if the paradox may be resolved by taking into account the fact that in order to observe anything, we have to interact with and disturb it's wave function, thus (perhaps) changing any probabilities of observation elsewhere.
