why does an electron aqiure c status on passing through double slits.

It doesn't jackles a photon is always propagating at c an electron always at less than c, why do you think when an electron passes through the double slit it magically then travels at c? Again you seem to be confused...

blags is an electron a tiny piece of matter.equalivalent to the plank constant .that moves at .999999 c.max when fired at the target as you have said.and does it then go to wave function passing through the slits at that speed.so the partical imformation travels at c.but not the partical.

No it is not equivalent to the Plank's constant, plank's constant is something that is related to energy concerns in the photon it has nothing to do with what you are talking about, at least not in the manner you are talking about it.

You seem to be confusing two very different experiments, the two slit which shows particle wave duality and entanglement experiments such as the Bell's-Aspect which show that entangled photons are able to relay information at something that is c, but no more

blags i think the fact is that the electron when fired from the gun is matter and so cannot travel at c.i was just interested to know how it suddenly attains c on going through the double slits of the experiment.but i think its a little clearer know.it was a wave all the way.

No it's both a wave and a particle, it does not travel faster because it is a wave than it does as a particle. It depends on how we measure something as to what properties it exhibits, this seems quite odd, but it says nothing about the speed of it's propagation per se.

Again you say such strange things I really am not sure what you are getting at? Suffice to say you seem to be muddling the concepts. If there is a point you are trying to make I am sure I don't get it.
