Some thoughts for you to ponder when you sober up:

Objects that have mass can't be in two places at the same time. That's because
some of their motion is inevitably in the time direction. It requires an
infinite amount of force to direct their motion to an entirely spatial
direction.

A photon has no mass and travels only in space. (I.e., its velocity vector in
spacetime has no component in the time direction.) Therefore, it can't be at
two times in the same place, but can be in two places at the same time. So the
experiments that claim to demonstrate, for example, quantum uncertainty about
which slit a photon goes through are bogus because they don't take that into
account.

In any given reference frame, that's a bit of an oversimplification, of
course, because spacetime is curved, not flat. (Think GR vs SR. Or
alternatively, note that no two observers at rest in space have velocity
vectors that point in the same direction in spacetime.) But the underlying
principle is sound.

Now it's back to sci.physics with you, unless you actually want to talk about
photography.
