That's partly because we're doing it using a brain evolved to hunt prey, track herds or understand seasons, not the subatomic world. The way to deal with that

That's partly because we're doing it using a brain evolved to hunt prey, track herds or understand seasons, not the subatomic world. The way to deal with that is to use mathematics. Once you yield to its power and give up trying to "understand" particle physics, things are a lot simpler (for certain values of "simple" ofc!)
