rasetsu, you seem to know your way around the physics, are you involved with the subject?
It boils down to repeating the experiment very often. The shape of the wave will emerge, eventhough every single measurement only gets you a localized point on the screen. It is not clear whether the wave is real in any sense, because we can only ever observe it in a statistical way. It boils down to which interpretation of qm you use, my favorite subject

Concerning the electrons, the strange thing indeed is that they behave like waves as long as you are not trying to measure their position, at which point they suddenly stop behaving like waves.
But how do you know they behave like waves if you can't measure their positions without them ceasing to behave like waves!? Maybe I should search the cloud for more info.
This is some fucked up shit. See what I mean about counter-intuitive?
Really interesting stuff, though.
