"The compulsion to replace the "simultaneous* happenings, as indicated directly 
by the theory, by *alternatives*, of which the theory is supposed to indicate 
the respective *probabilities*, arises from the conviction that what we really 
observe are particles - that actual events always concern particles, not 
waves." -Erwin Schroedinger
