I think it's important to point out here that the statement "observing the electrons to determine which slit they pass through, changes their behavior from dualistic wave/particles to simple particles" is only one possible interpretation of the dual-slit experiment's results. You are neglecting to mention the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, which posits that there is no collapse of the wave-function.

"Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real. Niels Bohr"

Scary quote if you think of your double slit example. Probabilistic, fuzzy, unknowable particles make up everything. And to add to that, we're 99.99999% "empty" space.

yeah, you try to make sense out all this and you can't ... unless we really are 1's and 0's in the matrix, then some of the very important out of place pieces seem to find a home in the big puzzle
