Yes, and that's why there are two universes, thereis a difference
between them. As Sesame Street says, one of these things is not like
the other.

When the photon in both universes hits a photographic plate, or a
brick wall, they are destroyed in both universes and thus there's no
longer any difference between the two universes, so it would be silly
to say there are still two of them. There once was a difference
between them but there no longer is, however a memory of that
difference remainsin the single newly emerged universein the form
of evidence the photon went through slot A and also evidence the
photon went through slot B. And the word we used to describe that sort
of thing is "interference". And if you removed the photographic plate,
or the brick wall, and just let the photons travel out into infinite
space after they pass the slots then there is of course no
interference detected because the two universes never become the same
again and thus never merged back together.
I have a question for you, if the mathematics says a photon COULD
travel through slot A and a photon COULD travel through slot B why do
you insist that the mathematics does not really mean what it says so
the photon doesn't "really" travel through slot A and only "really"
travels through slot B? I think anything not forbidden by the laws of
physics is mandatory, and I am aware of no experimental results to
indicate I'm wrong about that.
The math says the wave function travels thru both slots. That happens
in the same world and so the two paths produce interference patterns.
