  1. 1) the electron does not look like a particle when you detect which slit it passed through. It looks like a wave that went through one slit....otherwise: there would be no diffraction pattern, and there would be no overlap in pattern from from each slit, and thus no interference to see, and there would be no double slit experiment. 2) In QFT, the electron doesn't just go through both slits. It also emits a virtual photon that turns into and electron positron pair, and 3 particles go through both slits and 2 annihilate on the other side into a virtual photon that is absorbed by the electron and then it hits the screen like nothing happened. And that photon could have also been a Z-boson....but those amplitudes re too small to observer, at the point^1 in time. [1] point means: your hyperplane of simultaneity.
