This is a tangent of that but I thought superposition was the state. The state of being some amount of many states at once. It isn't positive and negative at the same time but some amount of positive and some amount of negative for some period of time. It's still one state that is just somewhere between a number of states.

    You are applying too much classical thinking.

    Something in superposition isn't in some unknowable but definite position before measurement.

    It is all possible states, at the same time.

    Einstein famously did not like the implications of QM, saying "god does not play dice with the universe", though his work on the photo electric effect helped pave the way for QM.
