If I fire a stream of electrons at a CRT screen, the electrons go pretty much where I point them (this is how CRT Tv's work).
But from reading popular science books I am led to believe that until the electron hits the screen, it has a range of possible positions and can in theory appear in any number of positions, defined by it's wavefunction.
Why is it then that they appear where they are fired and not spread out randomly?
