I dont think there can be intuition for this. How can one even imagine an electron "flying" through space, there is no measurable thing that travels, we can only see the disturbance of the surrounding space caused by it. But what is the it, does it maybe live in other dimension not accessible to us, or is there no it at all ? I gave up as a layman trying to understand any of this. Sure, there is math and you can somehow make some mental models involving 3d graphics and all, but that is not actually what is going on down there.
