What are you talking about? You grabbed a lay description of one part of QM and you're crying that you misunderstood it? What I know of QM is that it isn't intuitive. The Math works, and is verified by collider experiments, and ultimately that is the only way to understand it - the interpretations are secondary and seem almost nonsensical (at least to me). It certainly sounds like you're trying to apply classical notions of time and matter to the quantum realm and crying that it doesn't fit.
You can't reason this out.
