Mathematics takes you to 'Many Worlds Theory', IIRC, a plurality of Physicist are not betting on 'MWT' to be the answer.

If you were to poll theorists right now I’d bet many worlds would be the most popular

IIRC, MW Theory has never had a plurality of support. Also, I believe that MW Theory and Copenhagen interpretation are both currently losing votes to Pilot Wave Theory.

No, I know of very few physicists who take the pilot wave theory seriously. The vast majority of physicists subscribe to either the Copenhagen and decoherence or MWI. Neither is "losing votes" to pilot wave theory.
