Good question. It does seem that we are all just similar to like you say "quantum mechanical probabilities". These probabilities are very very high though.
I.e. there is a probability that you could walk through a concrete wall just like a ghost, but this probability is so small that you might have more chance of winning the lottery 300 times in a row. Nobody has ever done that, but it is not impossible.
As to the question if quantum probabilities are due to some cause and effect that we do not know about - even Einstein and Hawkings disagree on that. Einstein said "god does not play dice" and Hawkings says that "god does play dice".
Conclusion: Learn to live with the rules of reality as given to us, they are pretty real. Your life will be easier if you stick to reality than if you are always hoping and looking for miracles. Or perhaps in other words: "If you do not stick to reality, the odds are highly against you".

I don't know aobut drunksage. My wall is pretty much 99.99% of the way there. Yet I know it's theoretically possible to convince the 0.01% of it that isn't there to conglomerate itself in one area and create a void space. If the technology to do this has been developed, I don't know where it is; I only know that that is a theoretic possibility.
How much weight do you give string theory? I feel that even though the concept has been around for nearly a hundred years, it may still be in its infancy. If we are held together, not just by muscles and bones, but by cells within these tissues, if we are held together by the cytoskelletons within these cells and are depednent upon the transport of single ions across harsh chemical environments to mantain life, if these ions themselves are held together by sub atomic particles and yet all of it, from every individual of the trillions of electrons right up to my cerebral cortex, all of it is held together! What's more, the more I know and love my wife, the more I feel held together by her. Her thoughts become mine; my ticks and facial expressions become hers. Then both of us are intertwined with our children, our parents, our community, our church, our God. Where does it all stop? Where does it all start? If string theory holds any truths then these truths are because of all the inseverable interconnections that energy, matter, simple life, and higher life have in common.
I'm reminded of a sci-fi series by Orson Scott Card where the memory of the universe's largest supercomputer is downloaded into a network made up of the living Hive Queen's mind and the thriving Pequenio forest. Once they got the computer system to reboot the computer's memory was intact and had also assimilated the memories of two intelligent species.
As for the rift in time, I can go blue in the face arguing hypotheticals, but my Rolex says just what it should say when I've spent 15 minutes enjoying your question. Thanks.

We are a quantum uncertainty.i think so because there are reasons.any moment which passed is not present and any other moment which has to happen is obviously is not the present ,then where are we? in an uncertain world?
Look for the dreams,and i hope more or less all of us have at least one experiance.
in dreams some times we had very happy situations and we feel very happy.
some times we feels that whatever we see in the dreams was also a real life feeling.
in that we smiles,we weeps bitterly,we scolds,we are able to fight etc etc.......there are so many experiances....
what would you say,our feelings are lies or every moment which is going to be past is lie.
is this a truth? only because we can see it with our eyes with limited vision power to see?
thats why,i believe in quantum uncertainty.

when gauging our existence we count the quanta, the mesons, the baryons the tachyon's and add a hint of mint, we then find that as a result our minds get blown. The subsequent annihilation of our memory tends to put us off correct spellings, one second yer can, next sicornd, shabammm, ye cna't. Dus Dog Paly rice pudding with the universunt thingy. The knee bones connected to the national grid now hear the word of the bored. Time to spot your last trains.

How do I know this is a real question or that you are a real person or if we ever existed- after all quantum physics says i just changed everything by observing it.....
Actually it all depends on the thoughts ans intentions of the Ultimate Observer-

If you really knew anything about quantum physics, you'd realize that that it's only any good for describing very tiny objects. People are very, very big compared to an atom or an electon. Therefore, we can know with 99.9999...% certainty that we exist. I am a quantum certainty, not a quantum uncertainty.

We exsist in my view because everywaking moment is roughly the same.in terms of the main natural elements which we expect to happen .I wake up in the morning the sun rises where I see it and the moon moves in the expected direction.The fixed laws tells me I wont wake up in chaos ,But still we could be a chance
of rift out of chaos just holding itself in time allowing unified forces to develop awarness ,which also in turn makes us look around and know or think we exsist.we know and expect things to happen because of these fixed laws .
Perhaps from the level of a human being Im seeing in physical terms of matter ,but I would believe intelligent exsistance is also non physical.tough one that! I shall ponder on it.

Hehehe. First you must answer the *deep* question:
What means 'exist'?
After that, the rest should be downhill âº
