All of these arguments between the Copenhagen Interpretation, the Pilot Wave Theory and the Many-Worlds Interpretation will end when the ideas from the Transactional Interpretation or the Relational Interpretation become more mainstream.

The crucial point in these later interpretations is that the wave function is a misleading tool that, by changing in space and time itself, hinders rather than helps the understanding of the quantum world.

Many-Worlds is the price we have to pay to get rid of the idea of wave function collapse, but what if we could get rid of wave functions altogether? Then there'd be no problem of collapse or wave-particle duality to solve!

But how we could explain the quantum world without wave functions?

The first step is to depict interactions not as massless quanta or field perturbations propagating through spacetime at the speed of light, but as instantaneous relations between spacetime events that always unfold to reality satisfying the ratio of the speed of light.

This way, interactions are not evolving processes, but complete events themselves.

In fact, Special Relativity already tells us that due to the zero proper time that would be experienced at the speed of light, any spacetime interval (no matter how long) would be "compressed" into a single simultaneous event. The entire spacetime interval at the speed of light would be experienced as an instantaneous action/reaction event with no spacetime properties.

Then, reality would consist of patterns of unfolding interactions that instantly connect each detection in the present to a host of past emissions scattered throughout the entire history of the universe, while satisfying the light-speed ratio and all other consistency constraints required by the spacetime interval that spanned to each material observer within its reference frame.

Thus, each interaction is a collapsed wave function the moment it unfolds: an instantaneous happening that somehow represents the entire sequence of events that took place for the observer.

This "compression" of any light-like interval or causal relation into a timeless event solves entanglement, and from there, all quantum weirdness can be explained.

So the reality of the universe is not the spacetime interval of any material observer, but the instantaneous bridge that every massless carrier represents through spacetime.
