Quantum Mechanics

Quantum mechanics are simply ridiculous. For the basis of our daily lives to be built on something so beyond and incomprehensible relative to our daily lives makes absolutely no sense. Why wouldn't these same patterns and relative roles and relationships we interact in as humans work on a subatomic level? Could humans ever model subatomic interaction.
The particular subject I'd like to comment on is how ridiculous it is that we can't actually tell where electrons are, or if they even are. Can electrons tell where electrons are? The fact that something can definitely exist in an indefinite location seems slightly absurd, and almost impossible to believe. It might seem hard, but I believe I have to abandon my current way of categorizing/viewing the world to truly understand quantum mechanics.

I agree with Mitch that it made no sense relating to our daliy lives. It is pretty depressing to figure out how and what is happening in that tiny world. And yes why do electrons have to randomly move! I mean why do they even bother moving in the first place? This simpler looking problems twist our views into much harder situation.
