May 29 at 12:00 comment added Tobias Fünke See the papers by Peres, Peres and Terno about quantum information in relativistic quantum mechanics and classical interventions. Your question is somewhat ill-defined to me, because it seems to rely on "wave function collapse", whose ontological status is not clear (same for wavefunction). Anyways, experimentally, there are two measurements, QM predicts their correlation; that's basically it. I don't understand what you say about conservation laws at all. All observers agree on the measurement outcomes! In the typical EPR-B set-up, this means everyone agrees that the total $S_z=0$ measured.

make the question clearer with an example. Added to review
May 28 at 7:52 comment added Rekkhan @VincentThacker even if we define that the wave function is just a mathematical description, the reduction of the state occurs at two "points" in space and thus can be considered as two events.

Needs details or clarity
May 27 at 18:28 comment added Vincent Thacker In entanglement the wavefunction is a function of both positions. The state is entangled precisely because it cannot be separated into two individual ones. The wavefunction is not a physical object in spacetime. It is a function of both position vectors. It represents and encodes the observer's knowledge, i.e. what reality is to the observer.

May 25 at 16:52 comment added Bill Alsept Observation has nothing to do with it and wavefunctions/entanglement is only mathematical. It has nothing to do with what's physically happening in real time.
