  • $\begingroup$ Interference is the absence of self-interaction in linear systems. Gravitational waves are only showing interference in the weak field regime. At their source (black hole mergers etc.) their behavior is much more complicated. The diffraction pattern of the double slit is nothing else than the optical image of the double slit under coherent illumination. That is in no way different from you looking at a Matisse, for instance. If you are finding the double slit image strange, then a painting by a famous painter should drive you crazy. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 12, 2023 at 16:17
