Irrespective of the lineage of any contestant, I would have to say that my money (if I had any) would be on QM.

As long as we believe that reality is defined within any number of finite dimensions, I think it has to be possible for humans to exist in “in different states at the same time”.
We may never be in a position to make a direct observation of that, but I think the time will come when indirect evidence will be found that will leave little doubt about it.

There never was nothing.
