But in classical interpretation, I still don’t see how any future event is not real. Not having information about it is different from their not being real.
The Many World's interpretation is just that, an interpretation, which, in my opinion, is an extravagant one, but, yes, some future events must be regarded as being absolutely real in that they have already happened in another past reference frame.
Physicists don’t seem to agree the many world interpretation is extravagant. In fact many seem to regard it as elegantly parsimonious in terms of new unknown underlying principles that must be assumed
If time travel is possible, and nothing in physics says it ain’t, then it seems to me all future event must have already happened in another past reference frame.
