Sean Carroll's Talks at Google presentation of his book Something Deeply Hidden. He gives an accessible introduction to quantum mechanics and argues for the many-worlds interpretation and the emergence of spacetime.
Recommended as an approachable case that the Everett (many-worlds) interpretation is the simplest reading of quantum mechanics.

Sean Carroll's many worlds is what I subscribe to. In a nutshell, you are a quantum system as well, when two quantum systems interact, then you get the wavefunction collapse, but it doesn't collapse, it just appears that way. ▶ this video
I'm no expert, but I thought that Einstein was pointing out the flaws of the Copanhagen interpretation of quantum physics. Sean Carrol gave a talk about his new book and his claim is that quantum mechanics is pretty straightforward, and all the spooky weirdness is only needed if you try to ignore the implication that the data supports the-many world interpretation. ▶ this video i.e. similar to the sock example given, when you open the envelope you find out what universe you are in, the blue sock or red sock universe and that tells you information about the other sock in your universe. But another you is finding the other color sock in a different universe.
Reading Sean Carroll (1) and David Deutsch convinced me that Everett is the straightforward interpretation of what the data is saying. Copenhagen is adding unnecessary concepts to the interpretation and making it more complex, so, if we are using the scientific method, the burden of proof should be with the backers of Copenhagen. (1) - ▶ this video
I'd recommend watching this talk by Sean Carroll: ▶ this video I think it's a much simpler interpretation than the Copenhagen interpretation. Here's an awesome discussion/debate between Carroll and a major MWI skeptic, David Albert: link In this discussion, they cover what they consider "silly" and "important" criticisms of MWI. Respectfully, some of what you said in your comment is placed by them in the "silly" box.
