Odd you feel this way...
Regarding characterizations such as disgusting and disturbing, I can't really say I undertand your feelings. Were you similarly disoriented when you discovered that newspaper photographs are actually composed of many tiny dots, or that people are actually made up of many tiny cells, or that matter is made up of many tiny atoms? The underlying quantum reality does not affect the reality of the macro world of daily experience, it is merely the lowest level we've found so far of that which underlies reality, just as at one time atoms were the lowest level.
