No, not at all. The Double-Slit experiment was devised to show that light has the properties of particles. However, this is contrary to previous experiments done to show that light is a wave (radiation).
This may seems contradictory, but in-fact, it is complementary. The relationship of light existing as both particles, and waves is called the Wave-Particle Duality. This has been discussed in quantum physics for some time.
The generally accepted truth previous to this point has been that something being either a particle or a wave precludes it from being the other. However, it seems that this theory is wrong, and few people have thought to challenge it because the unwritten rule has stood since physics was first investigated as a subject. It seems that the Wave-Particles Duality properties of light oppose the rule.
So, in answer to your question, no. The law of non-contradiction still stands, the double-slit experiment simply shows the flaws of a misinterpreted concept.

there is no such thing as the trinity The false doctrine of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit has no scriptural foundation and is found nowhere in the entire Bible. Tertullian (210 AD) taught that God was a trinity of three persons and he was denounced and excommunicated from the Church by the true Christians of his day. Origen (230 AD) taught that God the Father and God the Son were co-eternal, and that the (Logos) Son was eternally generated. His teachings were also denounced and he too was declared a heretic by the true Christians of his day. The Apostate ‘Christian Church’ at the Ecumenical Council of Constantinople in 381 AD at the urging of the Roman emperor formulated the first trinitarian creed, after almost 50 years of Arian (modern JW’s and Mormons) teaching, but the current doctrine of the trinity which the vast majority of ‘christian’ churches teach only came into being at the end of the 8th century and was written by John of Damascus. This creed is known as the Athanasian Creed.

a photon is two or mor particles orbiting each other in 10 dimensions.
when seen from the front, this appears to be a circle. When seen from the side it appears to be a sine wave.
Photons travel by attaching themselves to time. when a photon encounters an edge, that is: the boundary between matter of different densities, it has a probability of being deflected. When two such boundaries are spaced "just so", the probability of being deflected is greatly increased.
The fact that a photon is composed of particles has been proven by sending photons one at a time through the slit apparatus.

I am well acquainted with the double-slit experiment.
What about it seems contradictory?
It is not possible for nature to produce a true contradiction.

The double slit experiment does show that nature is multi-valued. So in that sense it does. But to me that is due to nature being so vast that we ourselves are duplicated and are unable to distinguish between exact copies of ourselves.
This is the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. At least before it was misinterpreted by Bryce Dewitt.

No. Matter has the natural ability to become one or the other depending on who is watching. It cannot be both at the same instance. It regards the dual properties intrinsically. The reason it can never be both at the same time is linked to Schroedinger's equation for locality.

I remember my double slit experiment - Ginger and Bettie - the results were NOT contradictory - very satisfactory.

When there is a contradiction between laws derived by people, the people are wrong.

I'm with r u randy...What are you asking?
I'm not a science or philosophy specialist, so you may have to simplify your question for a general audience, or at least provide a link.
