The problem with quantum theory is that nobody knows the solution and
researchers are desperately trying to understand the weird quantum
world.

Quanta magazine has a long article discussing the problems with the
Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI).

Quote:
Why the Many-Worlds Interpretation Has Many Problems
The idea that the universe splits into multiple realities with every
measurement has become an increasingly popular proposed solution to
the mysteries of quantum mechanics. But this “many-worlds
interpretation” is incoherent, Philip Ball argues in this adapted
excerpt from his new book Beyond Weird.
By Philip Ball      October 18, 2018

What quantum theory seems to insist is that at the fundamental level
the world cannot supply clear “yes/no” empirical answers to all the
questions that seem at face value as though they should have one. The
calm acceptance of that fact by the Copenhagen interpretation seems to
some, and with good reason, to be far too unsatisfactory and
complacent. The MWI is an exuberant attempt to rescue the “yes/no” by
admitting both of them at once. But in the end, if you say everything
is true, you have said nothing.
