People don't want to learn about quantum physics because they don't see the money/reward in it. It's not that hard. Half the crap quantum physicists dream up is more like collaborative theatre than physics. Nearly any theory that fits the data and is capable of predicting possible futures has, likely, some predictive merit. The only reason “vortex theory” hasn't taken off is because it doesn't have the funding.

People don't learn more about quantum physics because the faculties necessary don't exist in the general population.
I was listening to a radio ad the other day, a pro-female advertisement. It went something like this:
Daughter: Why is the sky blue daddy?
Father: To match your beautiful eyes my sweetheart.
Daugher: Nope, because blue wavelength light that enters the atmosphere is scattered much more than the reds, and other colors of the spectrum, making the sky appear blue.
Father: ohhh, how did you know that. (The father obviously did not know the answer)
Daughter: Mommy told me.
Announcer: Little girls need a andequate education too, etc....
The point of the commercial should be obvious, and it's a good point. But even deeper is the reality that the mind simply does not grasp such a conclusion - there is no correlation with survival needs, hence, the brain does not intuitivly know and it takes a deliberate question to get to the answer. Why go to all that work when the answer "Because X made it this way" will work in 90% of the cases or more.
