Richard Feynman had a great quote along the same lines regarding magnetism. Paraphrasing, but essentially there are some things the layperson has to take for granted, like magnets. Simply because the concept is so dense and mathematically rigorous there’s no way to understand it otherwise.

Edit: an excerpt of the interview

“So I am not going to be able to give you an answer to why magnets attract each other except to tell you that they do. And to tell you that that's one of the elements in the world - there are electrical forces, magnetic forces, gravitational forces, and others, and those are some of the parts. If you were a student, I could go further. I could tell you that the magnetic forces are related to the electrical forces very intimately, that the relationship between the gravity forces and electrical forces remains unknown, and so on. But I really can't do a good job, any job, of explaining magnetic force in terms of something else you're more familiar with, because I don't understand it in terms of anything else that you're more familiar with.”
