This is the way I think of it.
What this leads to of course is connexion across time and space for all particles that have had previous interactions in a way we do not yet understand.
String theory allows connexion through other dimensions so allowing 'instant' action at a distance faster than light.
I would further propose that since all the Universe was once in the one 'place' in the one 'time' in the putative naked singularity before the big bang, EVERYTHING is forever connected in ways we do not understand yet!
An inderterminate state such as a wave function cannot interact with itself to change its state from a future conformation. Once these wave functions collapse to 'reality' they can then have a feedback effect on the system to modulate the systems future.
I am most probably totally wrong but it is the best I can come up with to explain the evidence.
When Bucky Balls with Chlorine and or Fluorine atoms can produce diffraction patterns by interfering with themselves I have to consider that these molecules are just wave functions until we 'look' at them.
Of course the inevitable conclusion is that our perceived reality is only a consequence of constant interaction of all these wave functions. When the interactions stop the Universe ceases to exist.

Hmm I get where you're coming from Bert. All sounds credible to me.
All poised for some real evidence … I hope we see it in our lifetimes !
These extra dimensions of String Theory are still perplexing to me.
Whenever I've read up on these, the explanation seems to always indicate that these are incredibly small curly things (like my Avatar), which may occur at every point in space. But these representations are just very tiny 3D objects … I still don't see how these are actually what I'd call 'extra dimensions'.
I can actually relate more closely to the maths definitions of them, than the analogies painted by the mainstream Physics authors.
Interesting.
Cheers
