We have no fundamental understanding of how Quantum Mechanics "works".
It 'just does'.
Those who 'understand' don't.
AndIt 'just does'.
Albert Einstein violently disliked QM's "spooky action at a distance" - but experiments since his death have confirmed the reality in our reality of such "nonsensical" effects.
And yet, QM is arguably the most successful scientific theory of all time.
It's predictions are probabilistically precise and found to work (so far) with perfection.
With QM the 'how it works' and what it does are essentially orthogonal.
The effects may as well have been designed by aliens.
Now, there's a thought.
