It all seems totally insane and impossible.
If it's any consolation, a lot of the people involved in discovering this kind of stuff felt the same way. Quantum mechanics does all kinds of stuff that just *feels weird and wrong* by your normal intuition, but the math works and it demonstrably matches experimental results.

Learning about the double slot experiment and the fact its so easily replicated is so weird. How something relatively simple most people can produce the results and the implications of it makes it feel like a knife edge of physics. As if we reached a point of all we know. where anything beyond it will be unlocking equally crazy mysterious things.
