That is part of what bugs me.

Quantum mechanics isn't magical or unknowable. It's just an area of physics where some of our base assumptions/approximations break down. It's not even that hard to wrap your head around, it just seems most people don't want to try.

Magic is just stuff we don't know but don't care to know :)

No, it's not. Magic isn't real.

Quantum mechanics is an area of physics that leans on measurement as a central concept. What things are doing between measurements is not its' concern, and don't even stop and think about it, you'll go nuts, just shut up and calculate!
