Then after it passes the double slit and that electron hits the photographic why does it always produce one and only one spot, not a smudge as one wave should and not a interference pattern as as 2 waves should? > > > and is ALWAYS observed as localized in space, aka a PARTICLE.

So tell me exactly what this **observer** thing is. Exactly what is it about observation that allows it to collapse the wave particle? How complex does a thing need to be to qualify as a observer? And why do you believe the moon started to orbit the earth 4.5 billion years ago, why do you believe the moon had any definite properties at all 4.5 billion years ago ? > > You keep ignoring the obvious 800 pound gorilla in the room; introducing > Many Worlds creates hugely more complications than it purports to do away > with; multiple, indeed infinite observers with the same memories and life > histories for example. If they all have the same memories and life histories then those infinite number of observers are indistinguishable from only one, and that's pretty simple. > > Give me a break. > No, you get no break from logic.
