There is a growing, dogmatic trend to reduce everything to wave mechanics, often ignoring physical reality and experimental data. While we know light possesses intrinsic electromagnetic wave properties like frequency, projecting these exact properties onto matter—like an electron—often feels like a mathematical imposition rather than a reflection of its physical nature.
Consider the double-slit experiment. When you fire heavy molecules through the slits, modeling them purely as chaotic wave functions overcomplicates the reality. If you match the momentum of those heavy molecules to the momentum of photons (and yes, photons are real, localized entities), you get the exact same interference pattern.
This experimental data suggests that the interference pattern is not the result of mystical 'matter waves,' but rather a product of the actual momentum interacting with the physical medium of the slits. It doesn't matter what projectile you throw at the slits; what dictates the resulting pattern is the physical interaction of its momentum.
Only, you're wrong about the magnetism, every atom has an intense magnetic moment, it's just mostly balanced, we established that they cancel, but that's not going to stop the field propagation anyway. There is a moire pattern of differentials because of the topology of the double slits.
This already makes so much more sense than many worlds.

What does it mean that "momentum interacts with the physical medium"?
It's just like magnetism, only deeper... If you like, the double slit can be explained in items of magnetism.
You accept that magnetism is a property of space, yes? It applies a force in and through free space.
Do you accept that magnetism cancels, combining fields results in a single combined magnetic field?
If you accept those, we can get there.
The double slit isn't about magnetism, and there is no interaction between the particle and the slits needed.

You can do that with neutrons, same result.
You missed the main point about the cancellation, it's a net effect, you still get fields generated, but the net momentum is mostly cancelled.
A neutron decays into a proton, an electron and an electron antineutrino, they all participate in the waves.
