I think Many Worlds is local because you cannot send information faster than light in that theory, apparently you disagree and for some reason think Many Worlds is non-local, but as far as this discussion is concerned it doesn't matter which of us is right because Many Worlds is *NOT* a realistic theory. "Realistic" means that unobserved things exist in one and only one definite state, and that is most certainly not what Many Worlds says.
