Actually that reminds me of a quote from Michio Kaku, a renowned physicist who said,
"It is often stated that -- of all the theories proposed in this century -- the silliest is quantum theory. Some say that the only thing that quantum theory has going for it is that it is unquestionably correct." 
In other words, as silly as it sounds, quantum theory provides a 100% accurate explanation for why particles behave as they do.
If you're interested, there are some particularly good books around that talk about quantum theory in layman's terms. I particularly enjoyed "The Divine Matrix" by Gregg Braden. It provides a lot of hard science (explained in layman's terms) but also offers a perspective that shows you why quantum theory matters in our personal, day-to-day lives.
