It is much stranger than this, there is nothing that happens in our normal macro scale life that is comprable to it. Things on a small scale behave way differently than our intuition allows for. The actual probablities of different outcomes interact with each other in a physical-like way. The single photon "double slit" experiment demonstrates this. 1 photon goes through two holes with equal probabilities, and the probabilities bounce off of each other making a new probability distribution as if they were waves bouncing of each other in the ocean. Nobody really knows why and the smartest people on the planet disagree as to why. What they agree on is ow to use this weirdness to make huge calculations very easily.
