I don't know where to start. There are so many things wrong with this comment that I'm confused as to how you even became confident enough about these falsehoods to write them. Where in the world did you get this idea of the Double Slit Experiment?
Just to be clear, what you are saying is literally that Quantum Physics in general is false, which flys in the face of the last century of science. This is literally flat earth tier
Crackpots seem to fundamentally misunderstand how science works, and mistake a hunch (maybe the photon has just been absorbed somehow, or it's like friction somehow) for a discovery. They also seem to think everyone else who's looked at a problem is stupid. In both cases, I kind of get it, because there's cultural forces promoting that - we're told you're allowed to believe whatever you want about metaphysics without needing to support it, and we're told that certain individuals can see a persistent problem and come up with a billion dollar idea to solve it all on their own.
Hopefully I'm not breaking any rules by guessing a diagnosis here.
