The history of QM and its metaphysics is interesting. Einstein BTW was not a great fan. Read up on something called the Copenhagen Interpretation.

It can get taken to extremes, for example the quote from John Wheeler, who wrote one of the better graduate texts on gravity, (Gravitation), who opined that he thought intelligent life was destined to pervade the entire Universe so that it could measure every quantum state.

GR is not generally taught in undergrad Physics, and I've never had a class in it. But I waded about 1/3 the way through Gravitation. You can get yourself a copy on Amazon...

Part of the problem with GR is that most undergrads don't have the required math yet, differential geometry.
