Hi Steve,
Sorry for the late reply. I must say what you said is very interesting, though I think if diffraction is gravitational effects then the observed diffraction pattern will not be vertical lines but a continuum instead.

Hi Dicken, thanks for the response!
I agree, that's how it would seem but maybe there is something missing in the way that small particles interact in this way; like within certain ranges of the electromagnetic field of the slit material--within each "ring" of the field--they are gravitationally lensed similarly akin to orbitals. Not to say that that is what is going on, but there could be something missing in a particle interpretation based on gravity that is not immediately obvious. We happen to interpret interference patterns as the result of waves, but that does not preclude them from being the result of particles traveling together as waves on such a small scale level. Even single slits produce interference patterns, after all. Just some thoughts, still contemplating that exact thing myself.
