sure they are most laws of nature are intuitive: they fit into the experiences one encounters because.. well we live in this world however quantum mechanics does not fit into the model how a human experiences the world it is not that an infinite dimensional hilbert space of quantum states is more absurd than an euclidean space of classical mechanical systems, or shcroedinger's equation is uglier than the newtonian laws of motion (these are similar abstarct mathematical concepts) the issue is that the human learning and sensor system is hardwired to be good at certain things and not good at others, it is adjusted to the scale, temperature, energy level,.. which is most important for being alive, and it turns out quantum mechanics does not fit well into this simplified world view "For those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum theory cannot possibly have understood it." Bohr "I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics." Feynman
