This is also a meme collapse. When light quanta (or other elementary particles) pass through two slits, in order to calculate where they will fall, it is necessary to assume that light has wave properties. On the other hand, if quanta are detected, they are always detected as point particles, not as blurred waves. To explain the transition from wave to corpuscular behavior, the Copenhagen interpretation introduces a process called collapse. It's a collapse of memes.
