“My own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.”

J. B. S. Haldane (5 November 1892 – 1 December 1964) was a British geneticist and evolutionary biologist.

Similar remarks that seem derived from this have in recent years been attributed to Arthur Stanley Eddington, as well as to Haldane, but without citations of an original source.

I like the queer version.

Max Tegmark should be reminded of this quote.
