I think that a good chunk of the problem is that we're not used to dealing on the quantum level. Einstein said, "God does not play dice with the Universe."

Einstein was wrong, and towards the end of his life was changing his way of thinking.

So many things can happen at the quantum level that are incomprehensible or impossible in our macro world! For instance, photons have been accelerated to 4.7c, and have even carried music at that speed, yet because a photon can in no way means that I can travel that fast. John Stuart Bell's theorem is another example -- it would certainly be great if it worked in the macro world.

(No, I don't know if playing back Mozart's Symphony No. 40 from photons traveling at transluminal speed meant that the recording was over before it was started. If you find out, let me know, okay?)
