Yes indeed, all one and the same. But the fact we can theoretically be in two places at once is mind boggling
Well, not "we", but instead the electrons that make up "we" - and more accurately "all places at once" since electrons are not subject to Time as we understand or experience it. Though none of this is certain.
Stooo is fond of the single electron hypothesis - "being everything at once" - I'm not so sure.

17 Dec 2010 - They even managed to get it to vibrate in two energy states at once, both a lot and a little – a phenomenon allowed only by the rules of quantum mechanics. "Physicists still haven't achieved a two-places-at-once state with a tiny object like this one," Mr Cho said.
And as for electrons, are they particles or waves?
Beam me up, Scotty! Scientists teleport photons 300 miles into space
Star Trek tech is still way off but successful test of quantum entanglement at Earth-space distance boosts hope for building an unhackable quantum internet
Chinese scientists have teleported an object from Earth to a satellite orbiting 300 miles away in space, in a demonstration that has echoes of science fiction.
The feat sets a new record for quantum teleportation, an eerie phenomenon in which the complete properties of one particle are instantaneously transferred to another – in effect teleporting it to a distant location.
Scientists have hailed the advance as a significant step towards the goal of creating an unhackable quantum internet.
“Space-scale teleportation can be realised and is expected to play a key role in the future distributed quantum internet,” the authors, led by Professor Chao-Yang Lu from the University of Science and Technology of China, wrote in the paper.
