It is not bizarre; it is being presented as such, though.
The actual mathematics of quantum mechanics is simple (vectors, matrices). What is confusing is:
- trying to describe quantum mechanics without mathematics (since we have no direct intuition/experience, many analogies do not hold),
- inventing some profound philosophy to describe facts.
For example, my entry on that: https://johncarlosbaez.wordpress.com/2015/03/13/quantum-superposition/ https://johncarlosbaez.wordpress.com/2015/03/13/quantum-supe... (not entanglement, but - an electron being in two places at once).
