Mystic QM:
You can predict the position of a particle by pretending it takes every route, and adding up the probabilities.
This, together with Infinite Dimensional Hilbert Space operators being interpritated "literally", leads to people believing stuff like
The Many Worlds Interpritation of Quantum Mechanics.

The Wikipedia StatesThe relative-state view argues that this apparent collapse is an illusion. The interpretation has two assumptions. The first is that the wavefunction is not simply a description of the object's state, but that it actually is the object, a claim it has in common with other interpretations. The second is that observation has no special role, unlike in the Copenhagen interpretation which considers the wavefunction to collapse upon observation.
