You can either understand or quantum mechanics, not both at the same time.
It's one of the postulates.
what type of understanding?
conceptual
Everyone is in a superposition of understanding and not understanding. The wave function never collapses because there is no observer above us to make it collapse. It's proof there's no God.
Godell's incompleteness theorem states that we can never understand quantum mechanics, at least not completely (that's why it's called the incompleteness theorem)
Except waves don't simply stop because they're observed, so that's actually more along the lines of whether or not there is a God, He doesn't give that much of a shit about us.
Nobody understands it per se like one could have a certain piece of math "click" in their head or anything, we just observe the predictions of quantum mechanics agreeing with experiment, so scientists just roll with it. To rob /g/ of a maymay, "it just werks".
No way, every time you try to clamp it down, it just gets weirder, even works backwards in time.
