It's sure ass hell entertaining to learn what the experts find out. Have you heard of Schrodinger's Cat or the Holographic Principle?We're missing a lot important pieces of the puzzle. For all we know the connection between QM and classical mechanics could be quite straightforward and obvious but we're not seeing it yet.
It might seem discontinuous to us now but there also clues that when you get to those energy levels most the interactions might be happening on a much wider field instead of just between local particles.
Quantum mechanics gets really weird when it comes to locality and there's where some of the most interesting debates are located (no pun).
Don't really follow the science but there was this theory that's mathematically in line with current mainstream quantum mechanics theories but described a more deterministic reality vs a probalistic/but mainly random QM universe. Think it was pilot wave theory but I could be wrong.
Maybe once we get to higher energies with the LHC we should be able to get a better idea on what kind of universe we're in.
