   	Silly idea, but the collapse of the wave-state tells you what specific   
   spin (?) a given particle has, correct? If so, does having different   
   spin (or whatever, if I've got the property wrong) give the particle any   
   different properties? For instance, if it was *charge* rather than spin,   
   you'd be seeing the difference between an electron and a positron.   
      
   	If there IS a set of different properties associated with it, would it   
   be possible to "cage" your particle with something that it would only   
   REACT with if it had a given spin (or whatever)? Then only upon someone   
   else observing it would you see a given reaction. (i.e., if it was   
   charge rather than spin, you could detect the gamma ray given off by a   
   positron striking an electron, etc.)
