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?
