Exactly.

The purpose of science is to figure out how Nature works, so we can
perhaps use that knowledge to create cool things like computers and
GPS systems.

Nature NEVER gave us any promises.

In particular, nature never promised the math would be easy.
Nature never promised the physics itself would be easy.
Nature never promised it would be consistent with common sense
 (especially your "common sense", John!)
 Much of what we have learned seem truly bizarre at first.
Nature never promised all rules would have equal weight at all scales.
(for example, at macroscopic scales, quantization is almost irrelevant,
but at the atomic scale it is VERY important!)

Remember, we humans evolved in a world where the only thing that we saw
moving at relativistic speeds was light itself, and to us, its speed was
infinite. We also did not observe anything quantized. So "common sense"
is of no help dealing with that type of stuff.
