IMHO, every "interpretation" of QM is an attempt to take our ordinary human
perception and project this into QM. If you look at QM as a way to predict
measurements, it works out beautifully, just as John's note re Feynman
states. "Many Worlds", "Observers", "Collapse of the Wave Function" are all
just gibberish. Entertaining, though.
