The multiple world interpretation of quantum mechanics is my least favourite. It makes the real world seem schizophrenic.

The reason why this is liked, seems to come from particle physics, where particles can have multiple interactions with each other. The QED diagrams describe such interactions.

But I think this way of thinking is flawed, because all possible interactions take place simultaneously. Including those with virtual particles. This would give an infinite amount of possible interactions with an almost infinite amount of particles. While mathematically interesting, it seems to me that all these interactions can be compressed into a single field of possibilities.
