Quantum Suicide

Yeah, but then that's true of everyone who has ever died.

The whole of research didn't miss it. When I said physicists, I didn't actually mean physicists. I meant new-age gurus who think they're physicists. My mistake. I should have clarified that.

Look up Feynman propagators and the concept of action. Richard Feynman asserted the path a particle takes is exponentially proportional to the action of that path. There is an inherent uncertainty in measuring the path, however, since to measure it, you have interact with it, causing the particle's path to change in a wholly unpredictable manner. You see, the measurement tool approaches the size of the thing its measuring in microscopic scenarios, so that, in essence you're measuring particles with other particles. So, when you measure it, you cause the particle to take another path, which is also proportional to the action of that path at that point. You're dealing with probabilities of trajectories, not trajectories themselves. Keeping that in mind, you sum up the infinite paths the particle could take at each point, known as a Feynman Integral, if you're interested in the subject, they're incredibly messy to deal with, though. Turns out, since its exponentially proportional, using Euler's identity (e to the i pi equals cosine plus i times sine), this happens to be the exact expression for a wave. Doesn't mean it is a wave. Just means it happens to act like one. Sort of like how a mass going with constant velocity around a circle happens to exhibit wave like motion when only considered in one dimension. We simply have preconceptions of what a particle should be and that dictates to our minds particles should be 'things' that act like what we want them to act like. Feynman demonstrated his formulation was equivalent to Schrodinger's differential equation which implicitly, and erroneously, assumes the particle is a wave.

There you go. A simple, elegant explanation that doesn't require the 'many worlds' explanation.
