But who knows , the Transactional Interpretation could turn out to be right, it certainly makes far more sense than Copenhagen which isn’t even wrong. Copenhagen isn’t weird its self contradictory, it says quantum mechanics is the theory of the world and everything must follow it, but when a measurement is made (which is so important to Copenhagen) it insists that the measuring device and the observer that looks at the measuring device be classical. > *> I see both as absurd.* I do too. The only question in my mind is are either of them absurd enough to be true. You still don't comprehend how absurd the results of Bell type experiments are. In 1935 Einstein proposed a thought exparament that he thought proved quantum mechanics had a flaw, he showed that if quantum mechanics was correct you’d get absurd results. But 40 years later technology had improved enough to turn the thought exparament into a real exparament and the absurd result showed up exactly as quantum mechanics said it would. > > * It asserts multiple, even infinite copies of an observer* The only thing the MWI asserts is that the quantum wave function means what it says, from that it deduces that there must be multiple copies of everything not just observers because there is nothing special about observers.
