>Nothing is technically collapsing here, the wave function is literally a tool for probability.
We don't know that. You chose a simple explanation because you like simple things. Do you honestly believe that the brightest science oriented minds on this planet are full of shit?
gpt
Lol which if the brightest minds would refute this? You literally have no idea what you're so angry about

Check what the leading professors say.

Ah yes, 'those' leading professors. They should find another field to lead then:
>The wave function is a complex-valued probability amplitude, and the probabilities for the possible results of measurements made on the system can be derived from it.
human
The fuck are you talking about? No one claims to know the answer expect a literal nobody called you.

You must be confusing a wave function with the measurement problem; which I never claimed to know. 

The wave function is a tool to help with probability densities of the particle's position and momentum, something everyone who understands the basics of quantum mechanics knows is true. 

In the quoted message I was stating that the wave function helps us with our predictions and nothing is really collapsing here. Waves are not turning into particles; we just turn the probability of it being somewhere into 100% by squaring the amplitude (it was always in it's same location, we just only knew probabilities of the reality). 

Why the whole probability changes is the mystery; not how wave functions and particle states are.
