ELI5: It seems clear that subatomic particles aren't solid little spheres, what are they?
gpt
Bear with me, physicists, this is super ELI5...

Subatomic particles are both an infinitely-small dot, and a spread-out fuzzy cloud representing the chances that this dot will be seen at any given location.  But that gives the wrong idea that the dot is the real particle, and the cloud is just a description of it.  But in every sense that matters, the "cloud of maybe" *is* the particle.

Yes this is deeply weird.
