And I feel that MW would need a pilot wave that carries the information for every parallel possible outcome for entanglement to work, wherein certain pilot waves cause universe splits starting from the point where they overlap and others merge - if you measure the spin of two entangled particles you get two waves that meet where X+X and Y+Y don't interact, but X+Y and Y+X does and thus create new universes. I don't see how the wave-less versions hold up when there for example are orientation-dependent probability and a ton of other crap like that. What else makes the particles interact with exactly the right universe?
Edit: Not to mention how complex MW would have to be to explain the delayed quantum eraser experiment.
Or every point in the universe is essentially an independent configuration space, linked in a kind of matrix, in which the fact that the photon we sent to Pluto had spin X on measurement propagates outwards back to us and upon reaching us causes our configuration space to react accordingly in two different branches. After all the knowledge couldn't be available to you before it came back. Functionally equivalent to my bubble description above, only the terminology differs. Or is the configuration space infinite to the degree that all possible future outcomes is accounted for and represented in every point at once already, practically making it into a growing complex infinite web of interactions when following the time line forwards?

Local realism is the idea that objects have definite properties whether or not they are measured, and that measurements of these properties are not affected by events taking place sufficiently far away1.

Many experiments1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 have since been done that are consistent with quantum mechanics and inconsistent with local realism. But these conclusions remain the subject of considerable interest and debate, and experiments are still being refined to overcome ‘loopholes’ that might allow a local realistic interpretation. Here we have measured correlations in the classical properties of massive entangled particles (9Be+ ions): these correlations violate a form of Bell's inequality. Our measured value of the appropriate Bell's ‘signal’ is 2.25 ± 0.03, whereas a value of 2 is the maximum allowed by local realistic theories of nature. In contrast to previous measurements with massive particles, this violation of Bell's inequality was obtained by use of a complete set of measurements. Moreover, the high detection efficiency of our apparatus eliminates the so-called ‘detection’ loophole.
