Particle Movement is a Biocentric Illusion

Hi,
I tried explaining this (badly) once before so hopefully I have found a means to make it simpler and more intelligible.
It seems logical to me, given the various quantum paradoxes, that particle movement as we perceive it doesn't actually happen (think of entanglement, double slits and Wheeler's delayed double slit). It seems more coherent that the space time in which the detecting apparatus resides warps toward the object we perceive as "moving".
Rather than Feynman's view that the particle takes every possible path through the universe I believe it is more logical that every possible part of the universe comes toward the particle.
I have done some very, very, very simple diagrams of photon entanglement which I hope convey the idea.
In the case of double slits it is not a single particle interfering with itself but the space time of the detection apparatus interfering with itself as it has two options of how to reach the "moving" particle.
In the case of Wheeler's delayed observation the particle appears to be affected by a gate closing in it's past but actually the "movement" is in the opposite direction.
We see a start and end point and assume what happened in between : I believe this assumption may be a biocentric illusion.
Any comments ?
Cheers
Ali

Thank you so much zx16.
I wasn't sure I could express myself with enough clarity that someone else would get it
