  Which does *not* go through the two slits at the same time. Everything
else is ok. The same electron being here and at the other side of the
Andromeda galaxy? No problem. Electrons travelling in time and acting
depending on what happens one week from now? No problem. The one and the
same electron being shot, detected in a photographic film, and then shot
again a minute later? No problem.
  But an electron passing through two slits at the same time? Absolute
nonsense. Laughable even as a wild theory.
