Copenhagen and many-worlds - dismissed?

According to “Kathryn Cramer”:http://www.kathryncramer.com/wblog/archives/000530.html, Shahriar S. Afshar (a physicist from Harvard) has implemented a variant of the two-pin-hole test which appears to invalidates the two most popular ways of interpreting quantum mechanics in a real-world way (those being the Copenhagen Interpretation and the Many-Worlds Interpretation). Kathryn points out that her father’s theory, “Transactional Interpretation”:http://mist.npl.washington.edu/npl/int_rep/tiqm/TI_toc.html, may be the only current theory which survives the experiment. I wait with interest for further comments from the Physics community.
