I need a bit of help understanding the measurement problem in quantum mechanics. Any resources or explanation of exactly what it is and how much it matters would be great. I've been through the Wikipedia pages and a few books but I'm still not 100%

See if this helps. We are dealing with the deep end of the pool here.

The sucky part with physics is that you are often asked to be happy with "How" because no one can tell you "Why". That's also the main reason why the boundary between classical and quantum physics is so vague. You can see how it is vague, but not really why. There's a fuckton of phenomena in physics like this, starting from why the speed of light in a vacuum is that particular speed and not some other particular speed. Also why we can measure everything accurately but nothing precisely.
