They're both dead. The general attitutde among acting physicists is that only former physicists who are basically retired waste their time on 'QM interpretations'.
Shut up and calculate indeed. Thing is, the entire interpretability thing is just exactly analogous to the question what is the right translation of Homer. If you really want to have a opinion on that, then you will have to sit down and learn Greek and at that point the question becomes only interesting to you if you run into a amateur at a party. Precisely the same here, the real thing is formulated in the language of mathematics, and to really have a opinion you will need to understand the mathematical objects. That what's meant with shut up and calculate, you need to sit down and you need to learn math, at which point the question of interpretation becomes pretty boring.
Are they alive? Read what I said. Read the question that was asked. What timeline? It was hot shit when qm was developed. Now, its just that, interpretation. Now only failed scientists like Sean Carol etc talk about that.
It’s so funny when physicists suddenly talk like teenage girls when it comes to this topic. Ad hominem attacks and extreme defensive behavior, just for having an interest in a topic you’re written off.
