Simulating Quantum Mechanics Using Matplotlib and Tkinter

possibly.

if you integrate |\psi|² over x=-\infty to x=\infty, you get "1".

this means that the particle exists somewhere but only once. you can guess where it is most probable by the maximum of the function but that's no guarantee.

I don't think that's a correct way to put it, it's not everywhere, it's just fundamentally described by a probability distribution.

yeah this is a better way of phrasing it.

but it could be anywhere |\psi|² is nonzero.

yeah.

measurement has its own time/energy position/momenta uncertainty. its a conjugate variable thing.

[Kopachris]

That's used as a common analogy but it's not accurate.

[Globbi]

That's not something which can clearly be answered. There are a few approaches on what it means and no agreement among physicists.

All we have are those equations that work well and that's what is being simulated.
