A little bit about quantum physics

John Gribbin in his book "Six Impossibilities" made the following conclusions about quantum physics:
The First. The world doesn't exist if you don't look at it.
The Second. The movement of the particles is controlled by an invisible wave, but the particles do not affect the wave.
The third. Everything that could happen, even in principle, happens in one of the many parallel realities.
Fourth. Everything that could have happened, at least in principle, has already happened, and we have noticed only part of it.
Fifth. Everything affects everything else instantly, as if space didn't exist.
Sixth. The future influences the past.
In fact, this is a squeeze from the modern theory of the quantum world. Do you think such a theory can be a science, or is it closer to fiction or even a fairy tale?

I find this hard to accept because the state of whatever is collapsed by any intervention (including us but also ,say by a photon impact). We are not needed.

The Second. The movement of the particles is controlled by an invisible wave, but the particles do not affect the wave.
Happy with this

The third. Everything that could happen, even in principle, happens in one of the many parallel realities.
If the parallel realities actually exist and are infinite in number this must be true

Fourth. Everything that could have happened, at least in principle, has already happened, and we have noticed only part of it.
I think this is likely

Fifth. Everything affects everything else instantly, as if space didn't exist.
Maybe

Sixth. The future influences the past.
Of course

But then what qualifications do I have to give these answers? Only 1+1=2

The First. The world doesn't exist if you don't look at it.
Yes it does, that is a ridiculous statement because the world clearly existed before you were born and will exist after you are dead and buried. Only an utter moron would make such a statement except perhaps in jest to test the intellect of those they were speaking with/too.
The Second. The movement of the particles is controlled by an invisible wave, but the particles do not affect the wave.
Erm - NO - the ether does not exist, this was proved bull more than 150 years ago and demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of quantum mechanics, quantum physics, particle field theory and about 20 laws of physics. Yes, there is much we do not understand and have to learn, but this is a statement akin to ancient people beliving an angry god lives in the volcano because it coughed and spewed lava!!
The third. Everything that could happen, even in principle, happens in one of the many parallel realities.
The Multiverse has yet to be proven to exist, but even if it does, they are likely as different from each other as you are from a rock - in fact, a human will have more in common with a virus that two different universes would.
Fourth. Everything that could have happened, at least in principle, has already happened, and we have noticed only part of it
Only if you are smoking pot, taking Meth or some other halucinogenic. If it has happened, it is history and set in stone so to speak, but if it has not happened, it is only a possible future, external influences can change that and it cannot be predicted.
Fifth. Everything affects everything else instantly, as if space didn't exist.
Rubbish - nothing can propogate faster than the speed of light, even quantum entanglement is limited by this, thus any influence you have on a particle on Earth, can still only propogate that information at the speed of light in a vacuum - anyone who says different is a fool, charleton or moron.
Sixth. The future influences the past.
That is so ridiculous as to not be worthy of comment. Something that does not exist and may not exist cannot influence what has already taken place
