QFT is never used in the analysis of EPR -- that is argued in strictly non-relativistic QM.

Since my argument concerning EPR has never been an argument against MWI -- merely an argument against the contention that MWI gives a local account of the Bell correlations, your charge here is, as most of your charges against me, misdirected. Also there are many physicists who are > MWI critics, they never invoke that argument against the MWI either. > I also am an MWI critic -- I think that theory has serious and irreparable flaws, but EPR itself is not one of them. The argument that MWI is strictly local is just a mistake, and not an argument against MWI itself. But we have argued the case for non-locality in EPR for some time now. The debate is becoming repetitive, and has led to many red herrings and irrelevant side issues. Since I have not been able to formulate an argument that has convinced Saibal, there seems little point in continuing the discussion.
