Someone named Bob answered the previous post by MUPPAL with a more sensible view on the
matter:
"I had a prof who handled the problem of quantum mechanics being strange while keeping his clothes
on. He simply said that our daily experience involves relatively large objects. We therefore can't trust
our intuition when thinking about very small particles. I may not understand all the ramifications of
quantum mechanics, but that proposition makes sense to me.
This man's behavior was very disturbing. One girl apparently thought he was going to open fire. It takes
a while to explain, but quantum mechanics makes sense. You have to tailor you explanations for young
students, but you should not imply its nonsense. It should not be presented as a mystery of faith or a
Koan as a previous commenter suggested. I can't think of a better way to put people off from science
than to put on a little play saying that quantum is some kind of Lovecraftian monster that will cause you
to flail around like a crazy person once it is revealed to you."
