Nonlocal influences 2. Mutliple outcomes for each measurement If you choose 2, then you don't need 1. You can have multiple outcomes for a measurement and realism. You just can't have only one definite real value, without FTL influences. > But MWI could be true because although it is realistic it is not local. > It is local, all QM effects under MW propagate at c or slower.

It says nothing about the existence of places we can or can't go to.
