From what i understand particles just like light can also be represented as waves. But since you can combine electromagnetic waves ( eg light) to make a differnt wave pattern, which basicly means they exist on top of each other. Can particles ei electrons, do the same? Meaning co-exist in exactly the same place.

Not in exactly the same state within the same system. Electrons are fermions and obey the Pauli exclusion principle. You can't have exactly the same state for two particles — something must be different. I don't know (off the top of my head) of any experiments that demonstrates that this comes into play in interference. Electrons will also repel, and that would also come into play in such a scenario.

hmm interesting, ill try to read into what u said
