Short version: Explain quantum physics to me
Long version: I would like someone to give me just the vaguest clue what it's about. I have never read any explanation of quantum physics which didn't leave me immediately feeling quite, quite stupid and cause me to give up reading within minutes. I just don't have the faintest hope of understanding any of these explanations, and I honestly doubt I'm alone. I'm not stupid. Not properly anyway.
Can it really be that I'm too stupid to even comprehend the very notion of it? Because right now, I feel like there's a load of other complicated stuff I'd need to understand before I could even begin to comprehend it.
I don't even know what it does! What do people do with quantum physics? What's it for?!
Example: I don't understand mavity in any proper sense, but I know what it is. Makes little things go towards big things, or as far as I'm concerned, makes stuff fall down.
That is as far as I'd like my understanding of quantum physics to go. Is it possible? Help me.
