IMHO, PWT can be proved with two slits experiment and FTL electrons: they will behave like particles, because their wave will be unable to interfere with itself.

PS.

To clarify, if double slit will be put in a medium where speed of light is much slower, then there will be a speed, when electron with that speed will stop behaving like wave. This point will be depended on speed of electron, speed of light in medium, and distance between slits.

Is that even possible to construct? won't any dielectric media interfere with the wave/particle duality regardless if the speed of light is slower or faster than the speed of the electron in it?

Yep, it will be hard to conduct.

IMHO, it still possible to adjust slit experiment in such way, that slight increase in speed will break interference, i.e. at speed X electron will behave like wave, but at speed X+1 electron will behave like normal particle.
