@quietmarc The simple answer is no. If the first observation returns some value, then the system has been collapsed* into that state, and the next observation (within a short amount of time^) of the same quantity will necessarily also have the same value.
*I use the problematic word "collapse" here without necessarily endorsing Copenhagen lol
^there are subtleties here that require adding "within a short amount of time" but that doesn't really change the answer imo

@void_turtle thanks. is there a practical difference for this kind of thing between "at the same time" and "within a short amount of time"? Like, do you mean that as far as we measure toward a perfect "same time" we get the same/similar result? That kind of thing?
