“If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet.”
— Niels Bohr

Simplified Meaning:
Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that studies very tiny particles, like atoms and electrons. The way these tiny particles behave is very different from anything we see in our everyday lives. For example, particles can be in two places at once or change when they're being watched. This is so strange and surprising that it can be difficult for people to accept or understand. Just as we need to see something unusual to believe it, if someone isn't amazed or confused by these ideas, it means they likely don't fully understand how odd and revolutionary quantum mechanics really is. To truly grasp how strange it is, one must recognize that it challenges everything we think we know about how the world works.
