There’s an old joke about quantum mechanics professors starting their first lecture with something along the lines of “right now, some of you probably understand quantum mechanics. By the end of the semester, if I did my job right, none of us will understand it.”
You both understand and don’t understand quantum mechanics at the same time… It’s that simple, that is until such a point at which becomes known as to whether or not you understand or don’t understand quantum physics and then some kind of quantum tunnel collapses?
It’s hard to explain quantum mechanics when you don’t understand them.
It’s hard to explain quantum mechanics even when you understand them.
It’s a superposition of knowledge and ignorance.
The more you know the less you know
Congratulations, you’ve successfully explained quantum mechanics.
This isn’t even a joke, it’s literally true in quantum mechanics.
Thank you for explaining the joke, I now know less.
Sometimes I get the sense that I have a clear picture of quantum mechanics. But when I look closer, it gets all blurry.
Damn Heisenberg

Iirc, it’s a youtube video of an actual class

I thought that was like its thing. It doesn’t really make sense.
Thats the joke!
No one understands quantum mechanics
Whoa. Blakeception

No habla English
Quite a few people understand quantum mechanics, but they can’t explain it to you if you don’t understand the maths
There’s no good way of putting quantum into words, all of the descriptions are wrong in more or less subtle ways
I understand them! They perform oil changes on the quantum
They’re so good they fix your car on the quantum level!
That was the point, right?
It’s hard to explain jokes when you don’t understand them.
