Yes most of the problems people have with physics at the moment is it plays with there sensibilities they want everything to be nice and solid and simple.

The problem is the more we investigate the more everything reveals that it is an illussion that we desire, and not the actual truth.

QM is fast approaching the point we may soon be able to view it like we see things with a infrared camera (http://www.physorg.com/news/2012-01-quantum-mechanics-naked-eye.html)

Historically people struggle with things they can't see you only have to look at understanding that germs caused infection, radiation etc to see the issue.

Worth a read is the condensed background that germs cause infection (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ_theory_of_disease)

We laugh at the thought people didn't believe that but in the 19th century it was highly controversal. God and/or doing the right thing would decide who lived or died not some unseen natural thing was the dominant view.

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
