My cousin is a professor and research physicist at Stanford, working on
the SLA.  I'm a pretty smart guy by most measures of intelligence and
can hold my own with him on a wide variety of topics.  I once asked him
if he could explain QM to me.

As he is family, he didn't have to be polite.  He said he could explain
it, but there was simply no way in hell I could understand it.

After thinking about that statement, I believed it explained QM in
"layman's terms" about as succinctly as possible.
