  Are you sure Lorentz contraction is enough to "fix" the regular
newtonian gravitation calculations using forces? Gravity wells mess
up with time as well.

  Two waves with the same frequency interfering each other don't
necessarily cancel each other at any moment.

  Besides, what would "cancelling itself" mean with an electron?
Wouldn't it mean that it just goes straight, because the forces cancel
each other, and thus don't affect the direction of the electron?
Certainly some electrons in the slit experiment go straight?
