Please help me understand how the Many Worlds Interpretation works in the 2-slit experiment.

If we have the standard 2 slits, then different branches or worlds are causing interference with each other and causing an interference pattern on the screen.

But if we add a detector (say we're shooting electrons, and we're sensing for current around the slits), in the Collapse-based theories we can say the interaction caused collapse, fixing the particle in one place or the other. But the electron was barely nudged. In MWI, why aren't the electrons still interfering with each other on the way to the screen?

Many worlds interpretation is bullshit, that is all you need to know.

dont put normal life experience on quantum effects. the classical behaviour is the limit of quantum one, as when you look on something from far. and the quantum physics take as it is.

Was that supposed to be an attempt to answer the question?

Maybe in your world.

No, the double-slit experiment can be explained by particle wave duality, nothing more. You do not need the MWI to think about that shit.

I have a "field" as the fundemntal concept. The field can wave (property of field). However, there are certain cases where the field contracts so much, it looks like a delta distribution, hence a "particle" appears. This is the wave-particle duality. This explains the double-slit experiment perfectly. I do not need to invoke QM interpretations, all I need to to is use QFT.
