How about: A photon (particle) traveling at the speed
of light causes shock waves in the aether which, when
passed through double slits, causes interference?

Impossible for empty space - but we now know that space
is not empty. :-) Quoting "Alpha and Omega", by Seife,
"Empty space is an incredibly complex substance, and
scientists are just beginning to understand its
properties."

Perhaps you should read up a little on fluid dynamics. Any
movement in
a fluid causes "shock waves" or disturbances caused by
energy transfer
to the fluid. The so called speed of sound is when the
cause of the
disturbance moves at the same speed as the propagation of
the energy
transfer.

Are you saying space is a fluid?

Yes, but a compressible fluid - with temporal implications.
