Quantum mechanics totally confused me. I'm pretty easily confused when it comes to most areas of science, but this was definitely the most complicated scientific subject I've learned about so far. I think the most difficult concept for me to grasp was the one about how electrons are in one place at one time, and then they suddenly appear somewhere else, without seeming to travel through the space in between. That seems to defy so many rules and just doesn't make any sense to me. My only comfort is knowing that even scientists struggle to comprehend quantum mechanics.
I don't feel like I can really formulate an opinion on the matter of quantum mechanics because I really don't understand much of it at all. I guess, as of now, my position is that I don't disagree with the theories behind it, but the processes behind the theories are still rather unclear to me.

hey kate!!
I feel the same way! Quantum mechanics is really comfusing, and electrons transporting from one place to another doesn't seem to make sense!
