Yeah but do the laws of logic constrain Nature or merely our brains, that is, the representational content that we perceive and organize through the principles of identity, non-contradiction, etc.?
For example, I've heard it stated that electrons are both everywhere and nowhere. To me that makes no logical sense but unless something drastically different than my understanding of that statement is intended to be conveyed, I just have to assume that there are aspects of reality that human brains simply cannot compute because they did not evolve to do so.
Hm. I thought the 'strangeness' was that electrons can be in two places at the same time, that they are somewhat like waves. A wave can hit two different parts of a beach at the same time. My knowledge of quantum mechanics is sketchy at best, however.
I believe you are right, in a way. But I try not to confuse logic and common sense. Logical conclusions can be very counter-intuitive.
