I am a person of very minor knowledge of physics, so fair warning this might be completely inaccurate, or it might fall under other theories, but I have a theory about the universe that includes answer to my understanding of the double slit experiment.

A while back I started researching the double slit experiment after watching a video about it. What I gathered is that the particle from two lasers when shot through two slits will form a wave pattern on the object behind it. This has been relatively unexplained as there is no known reason for why this would be happening. I began thinking about this and came up with a conclusion that combined my basic knowledge of different scientific laws and questions I have wondered from a young age.

I think that it is impossible for there to ever truly be nothingness. Instead, I wonder if what we refer to as nothing could instead be considered a "factor x" that hasn't been researched yet. In my theory I believe that when the universe was created, the "factor x" was everything that wasn't the universe, started to push back against, or give resistance to the universe, wanting to stay the way it was, resisting the expansion of the universe.

This motion of pushing back is creating waves or ripples through the universe, seen most often moving through gases, as these have more "empty" space between the particles. These ripples are what I believe is causing the outcome of the double slit experiment, moving the particles in a way that it ends on the target, in a wave like pattern.

I am not sure if anything I am stating is correct or remotely could be, I would just prefer to have it out there and hear people's opinion on the topic.

The double slit experiment uses a beam of monochromatic light which could be a laser beam. But the experiment uses one beam, not two. So in your case it would be from one laser, not two. However it wouldn't really make a difference.

This has been relatively unexplained as there is no known reason for why this would be happening.

Not at all. If one treats the light as a wave then its perfectly explainable using the principle of interference. If you treat the beam as a bunch of photons then quantum mechanics explains if quite well. So there's no basis for saying that there's no known reason for it happening since we know why it happens.

In my theory I believe that when the universe was created, the "factor x" was everything that wasn't the universe, started to push back against, or give resistance to the universe, wanting to stay the way it was, resisting the expansion of the universe.

That's not really a theory. A theory requires a method to (1) explain current phenomena and (2) make predictions regarding new phenomena. I don't see it doing either. In fact it doesn't even make sense. Sorry.

"Is there ever truly nothing?"

Even if you assume there exists a nothing to observe, the moment you observe it, it becomes something.

[David Cooper]

Nothing doesn't exist, so you won't find any of it anywhere.
