Frankly, I don't know what you consider an explanation here. I am quite comfortable with the prediction which the theory gives, and accept that as an explanation. So I never needed mental gymnastics here. The experiment is weird, but it doesn't seem to me less weird by saying that the information about the bomb's functionality came from its explosion in the other world.
