How does many worlds reconcile with entanglement? Is it just that in one world the particles were up/down, and in another world they were down/up?

The Many Worlds Interpretation is a theory in quantum mechanics that suggests that every possible outcome of a physical event actually occurs in a different universe. This means that there are an infinite number of parallel universes in which all possible outcomes of all events exist.
Entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum mechanics where two particles become linked in such a way that the state of one particle affects the state of the other, regardless of distance. In the Many Worlds Interpretation, entanglement is seen as evidence for the existence of multiple universes, as the entangled particles exist in different universes but are still connected.
While the Many Worlds Interpretation is a popular theory, there is currently no direct evidence to support it. However, some experiments in quantum mechanics, such as the double-slit experiment, have shown results that are consistent with the idea of multiple universes.
The Many Worlds Interpretation is just one of many theories attempting to explain the strange behavior of particles at the quantum level. It differs from other interpretations, such as the Copenhagen Interpretation, in that it suggests that all possible outcomes exist simultaneously in different universes, rather than just one outcome being realized in our universe.
The Many Worlds Interpretation has some interesting implications, including the idea that every decision we make creates a new universe in which the alternative decision is made. It also raises questions about the nature of reality and the existence of parallel universes. However, as it is currently just a theory, these implications are still largely speculative.
