The path integral formulation doesn't sound that counterintuitive to me, though I don't know anything about it in terms of actually computing with it. Aren't there similar integrals in statistical thermodynamics, where what is "really going on" is random motion of molecules and the math has to consider every possible path, though in Euclidean space? I'd like to understand this stuff better someday. The "really going on" of quantum mechanics is perhaps more mysterious, but that doesn't mean physicists don't want to find it.
