They are a real thing. The little, smooth, definite path that you see
all macroscopic things follow simply is not how things behave at the
microscopic level.
Now you are right to ask how it can be so different than what is
familiar. The answer comes in two parts: 1) It IS different, and
experiment shows it to be so; 2) a little study of quantum mechanics
shows how something that is so different becomes more and more like
what we know familiarly as you pull back in scale.
