We& #39;ve learned a lot about superposition since Schrödinger first mocked it with his cat analogy, and we& #39;ve learned a lot about entanglement since Einstein mocked it as being "spooky action at a distance."
Like anything in science, there& #39;s always more work to be done, more that we could understand, but we& #39;ve learned an awful lot over the history of quantum mechanics.
Not all that we& #39;ve learned is consistent with intuition trained on the classical physics that describes objects that aren& #39;t too big or too small, aren& #39;t too hot or too cold, and don& #39;t move all that fast. That doesn& #39;t make it wrong, weird, or even hard to understand.
It means that you can use skills like math and programming to make sense of the world in a really neat way, that you can use what you know to develop a new intuition that isn& #39;t limited just to your own immediate experiences.
That, to me, is really bloody cool. The story of quantum mechanics isn& #39;t that the world is weird, but that we use math and computing to make the world make sense.
