Hello,
when i first heard about quantum physics and the superposition of particles, i immediately questioned myself about the law of non contradiction ( either A or ~A can be true, but not both at the same time and under the same interpretation).
From what i've read, quantum physics does not violates it because superposition means that the particle has the "potential" to be in either one state or another when observed, but once observed it gets exactly one, and hence it respects the LNC in both states.
Am i correct? I fear that the LNC may not hold someday, is it safe to use it daily? Can we be wrong? I know i am alive and not dead, i know i'm writing here and not somewhere else, but can i be sure that i will never find a situation where the LNC will fail? This is terrifying me, i'm starting to be unable to think correctly because i always consider the chance of A and ~A
