I've always thought the double slit experiment was easily explained by the fact that time as observed from the particles point of view doesn't pass. Therefore, to the particle, the order of events in the measurement are meaningless. So the measurement you took afterward happened before from the particles point of view.
While it's true that a photon doesn't see time pass, an electron does and they exhibit the same behavior in the double slit experiment. I don't see how the particles perception of time explains the results.
There is some current theories that time is a manifestation of entropy, and it isn't actually real. If that's true, then the idea would still hold. But, to be fair, if time doesn't exist, that still doesn't necessarily mean the double slit experiment is resolved.
You're implying that the double slit experiment is unresolved. What do you mean by that?
Edit: I'd also be interested to read the articles about entropy and time. Could you link one please?
So this is your idea of easily explainable?
Are you always this rude to strangers on the internet?
I just didnt understand what you said, I didnt want to be rude sorry
