Quantum physics is weird. Tiny quantum objects, like electrons and photons can behave like both waves and particles. They can tunnel through barriers that cannot be tunnelled through according to classical physics. They can be entangled together so that one part influences the other(s) instantly even if they are far apart. Measurements are based on probability, and outcomes are not predicted with certainty.
