This looks like a classic. [I put in some bolding, underlining, and bracketted comments.]

Upshot of this is that an electron needs two alibis.

Is it that we can establish that an electron is at two places at the same time, or that there is no way that we can establish that it is not?

Ask Schroedinger's Cat.
And that is that.

In one place Schroedinger's Cat is fighting with Schroedinger's Dog. In the other place both Cat and Dog are sleeping.

This experiment offers some insight to some heretofore unexplained phenomena:
- It seems that democratic voters in some big cities exhibit the tendency to appear at multiple voting booths at the same time. Perhaps a single door (slit) at the polling place could cause these people to act more like particles and travel to only one booth?!
- Rose law firm records both existed and didn't exist at the same time. Maybe we need to view them as particles to limit their ability to behave in wavelike (unexplainable paths to reach their destination) manner.
Just a couple of real world scenarios that might benefit from this observation.

If one is a critical reader of textbooks, one can see that this has been known for a long time and is even worse than described above (women and children effected most).
There is only one electron in the whole universe, but it is everywhere at once. Just read the books. Many if not most describe the electron in the singular; "THE electron..... bla, bla, bla". Now that the secret is out (Bush knew), we're DOOMED!

the first time that electrons have characteristics of both waves and particles at the same time and in virtually the push of a button can be switched back and forth between these states
this statment seems to really tell it all .....
the on - off ... one or zero ... the fundamental key to computing . Talk about a "micro" processer ..

That electron voted for the $87 Billion, before it voted against it!

At Trekkie conventions, people always used to ask James Doohan (Scotty) how the Hiesenberg Compensators on the transporter worked. He would just reply, in his patented brogue, "Very well, thank you..."

I am always uncertain whether "e" or the "i" comes first.

This is interesting, as I have twice read the title of this article to be: Can an Election...
