The World is a Verb (something approaching "scientific/mathematical" proof)

[Samuel Boone Johnson Thomas Frederik Douglas III]

I just see no need to waste it on mystical pseudo-babble when I have better things to do, like writing or job application forms, or stabbing myself in the eye with a fork.

Funny you should say that.  I was talking to a friend last night and she suggested that I stab people in the eye with forks to cure my writers block.  This could be a win-win situation for us both?

You will never find a particle in both boxes.  You'll find it in one or the other.  Nature gets to decide which one.  You can't affect that.  All you do is put the boxes there and decide what to do with them.  You create the conditions for the results, but not everything is under your control. 

Unless you open them both at the same time, and see an interference pattern, showing that the "atom" or wave funciton came from both boxes...

The interference pattern suggests that the particle came from both boxes. The fact that the particle can only be found in one box suggests that the particle wasn't in both. Both of those suggestions together suggest that we're unable to understand it all properly by looking at it this way.

By the way, you're still confusing wave function to be the actual observed phenomena, although they are related. The wave function actually is in both the boxes at the same time in an abstract sense (in the same way that the number 5 follows me around if I have £5 in my pocket.) It absolutely must be in both boxes if there is a chance that it could be, because that's the way that the mathematics works.

well, as einstein said...

"fuck this i need a shit"

[Roaring Biscuit!]

did einstein actually say that?

[Golden Applesauce]

did einstein actually say that?

Well, he said it in German, so you've probably seen it by a different translation... but yes.
