Lol, wave-particle duality. This is perfectly feasible if you consider the fact that time is completely relative, i.e. there is no single path through time. What really gets confusing is when you imagine the concept that matter and antimatter form a ring in time (going forward is matter, going backwards is antimatter). When one of these gets caught in a black hole, the other is oddly made to escape. That's Hawking Radiation.

I thought the slits had to be on the order of the wavelength of the particles being used. Wouldn't you need slits around 600nm wide if you're using a regular laser pointer? Also, do one on the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox next.

Doesn't Heizenberg's Uncertainty Principle explain why electrons can't be placed in definate spot or at a definite velocity as to stop them and try to measure them would only change their direction and speed (Which would account to why the electron could be anywhere)

Yes I knew this. Talk about the infinitesimely small chance that you can shove your arm through a wall without removing anything. Or how about the fact that Chuck Norris can tell you the exact position and momentum of a particle in space?

Though it may not be directly observed, it is the only logical explanation. When 1 slit yields a standard expected pattern, that of regular matter, and 2 slits yield an interference pattern, just as when water or light which travels in waves go through 2. The only possible outcome is the single particle traveling like a wave through both slits.
