who disagree with the many world’s interpretation of quantum mechanics

That's too strong of a statement. If you exclude some diehards like Deutsch, the Bohmian school and maybe Penrose's gravity-induced decoherence, the prevailing attitude is "however many worlds are out there, we can only ever see one", so, until new evidence comes along, we can safely treat MWI as a single world.
