And at each level the degree of confidence seems to be dropping. When you get to the point where the explanation includes an electron being made from a changes in a quantum field and a quantum field is probability, it starts to feel like there’s nothing underpinning reality.

Intuitively things that we can touch and see should be qualitatively different, but this intuition is wrong. Turns out it’s just big weak fields like gravity, and small strong fields like electromagnetism.
