​Which alternative explanation for the quantum world's weird behavior is
more testable than Many​

​Worlds? I don't know of any. The most popular view, the "shut up and
calculate" view, doesn't even try to provide an explanation as to why
juggling numbers in a certain way predicts the results of experiments, it
just says it does.  And it does do so correctly so that will work fine if
you're only interested in engineering and just want to use quantum
mechanics to make a gadget of some sort, but many don't find it
philosophically satisfying including me. I'd like to have some
understanding of what's going on and not just understand how to manipulate
numbers.
