But obviously reality is not about non-relativistic quantum mechanics. So whenever a discussion about interpretations is brought up, I think it is dishonest to argue FOR a partial version of it that really has nothing to do with reality
Fair enough. Unfortunately, the interpretive options for QFT are still not clearly worked out. I think the idea among quantum foundations people tends to be that we first figure out the best interpretation in the relatively simpler domain of NRQM, then think about how to adapt this interpretation to meet any new challenges from QFT.
This is no doubt partly due to the fact that the formal structure of NRQM is much better systematized and understood. We basically have a satisfactory axiomatization of NRQM, but attemptedaxiomatizations of QFT still have many lacunae. So there’s definitely a “looking for your keys under the streetlight even though you dropped them in the dark” thing going on here.
By all means! The Relativity complicates this MWI. We have different splits for different observers, since everything is not simultaneous for everyone.
Now what, if the future velocity of an observer is a result of a quantum experiment’s outcome. What’s very often, if not always!
MWI, the non-relativistic version is NOT real, anyway.
I’m assuming this whole conversation is about non-relativistic quantum mechanics.
