This happens because the process of making a measurement involves obtaining a single result for a given value. If a particle's position wavefunction exists over a continuum (that is, when the particle does not have a single definite position), then measuring the particle's position requires...

The thing to remember about the double-slit experiment is that the act of observing the photons or electrons involved requires that you interact with them - which destroys any interference patter you might have had, and leads to particle-like behavior. I have a good description of the...
