Talking about quantum physics in English using our normal Aristotelian logic, it doesn't make much sense. It's describing the solutions to mathematical equations. It's like trying to guess what something looks like while only being able to see its shadow. Only the object is a shape from many more than 3 dimensions with many more colours than we can see.

    What blows my mind about it is the mere act of observing something in a quantum state changes it.
    
    That's one interpretation among several.
    
    Sometimes when I think I understand a complex idea from quantum physics, then I try and explain it to someone and realise I don't understand it at all. Like seeing without using photons or the quantum computer that can calculate without actually running.
