Double Slit Experiment & Relativistic Simultaneity

[Boeley]

In the double slit experiment, an observer appears to change the behavior of the particle/wave. Would it be possible to use relativistic simultaneity to explain the change in behavior of particles/waves? A potential passing by, and being observed by an observer, causes the potential to become a particle, and once out of view again, a wave.

There're two reasons why I don't think so -
1. Relativity is a deterministic theory
2. the waavefunction collapse after the 'view' you mentioned. The system is different once 'out of view'.

What is "relativistic simultaneity"?

What is "relativistic simultaneity"?

I Think he meant 'the relativity of simultineity' but we can't be too certain...

What else could it be? I'm really asking here, not just rhetorically posing the question.

Relativity of Simultaneity, sorry, a lot of my information on Relativity comes from "Relativity Simply Explained" by Martin Gardner and he only explained it as "simultaneity". I'm not sure where I got the "Relativistic" from.

Regardless, Gardener explains it like this:

... if two events occur simultaneously at the same spot, it can be said absolutely that they are simultaneous. ... But the greater the distance between two events, the greater the difficulty of deciding about simultaneity.

The wave function of the particle is the possible "when and wheres" that it can exist, and the act of observation results in a sort of "collision" which causes it to exists at a particular when and a particular where.

If my idea is right, then the further away you move the observer, the less certain you can be about the location of the particle/wave you are trying to measure in the experiment.
