It is not bizarre; it is being presented as such, though.
The actual mathematics of quantum mechanics is simple (vectors, matrices). What is confusing is:<p>- trying to describe quantum mechanics without mathematics (since we have no direct intuition&#x2F;experience, many analogies do not hold),<p>- inventing some profound philosophy to describe facts.<p>For example, my entry on that: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;johncarlosbaez.wordpress.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;03&#x2F;13&#x2F;quantum-superposition&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;johncarlosbaez.wordpress.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;03&#x2F;13&#x2F;quantum-supe...</a> (not entanglement, but - an electron being in two places at once).<p>[Full disclaimer: I am an ex theoretical physicist. I don&#x27;t claim I am sane, though.]
