We don't know what travels through the various paths, however we can, at the least, talk about the properties of what passes through...
So the question is: What are the properties of matter (or de Broglie) waves?
Most of the below may be debatable- it travels in the form of a wave
- its does get blocked by opaque obstacles
- it passes through transparent obstacles
- if it can effect the path of the photon, it must be something physical traveling through time and space
- A) it travels at the speed of light
- B) some properties of it travel, at the least, 10,000 times faster than light
- they can interact with other matter waves
- amplitude of probability travels and is mathematically calculable
- they do exist, however we are unable to measure/detect it directly with the current state of the art
- the photon travels through one of the slits and the wave through both (else you cannot explain how a bucky-ball passes through both slits and recombines perfectly)
