Ja, I am the first to admit QM works.  I was right there in the physics lab
in college with the double slit experiment, saw it, went crazy, saw it
again, repeat.  Five years later at China Lake, I just couldn't quite
believe what I had seen, so I reproduced the experiment, and it still did
exactly what QM predicted.  I have never been able to get my mind around the
notion that a particle can somehow metaphorically or mechanically split
apart and pass thru two different holes simultaneously, then recombine.
Alternately (for temporal vs spacial fans) that a wave can somehow undulate
backwards and forwards in time and interfere with itself.

Either explanation boggles the hell outta my mind, and I can't help getting
the feeling there must be (there MUST BE!) some alternate explanation that
no one has thought of yet.  Please anyone here, I am open to suggestion,
waaaay open: how and why does the double slit experiment work?  

I don't see wasting perfectly good money on psychadelic drugs, when one can
blow the hell outta one's mind for free, just by pondering that one simple
experiment.
