David Lindley's book, "Einstein, Heisenberg, Bohr, and the Struggle For The Soul of Science: UNCERTAINTY, page 135, ("... Born, came to ... conclusion. The spreading waves leaving the collision site ... not actually particles but their 'probabilities.' In other words, a direction where the wave was strong was a direction in which rebounding particles were likely to emerge. Where ... weak, by contrast, particles were less likely to be seen. ....")
Could something similar have happend at the time of the singularity, the big-bang? What if "probability waves" were all that occurred at that moment. What if these waves spread out in all directions and somehow interfered with one another. Might matter have formed only when the waves were maximum and space formed only where the waves were minimum. Maybe something like standing-waves account for the locations of galazies and the space between them? If so, might observations suggest there be a patterns there?
