I have no doubt that in reality the future will be vastly more surprising than anything I can imagine. Now my own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.

J.B.S. Haldane
About This Quote

The Universe is a mysterious and mysterious place. It is so big and so old that we hope to understand it. But as we study it, we find that it is more complicated than anything we can imagine. The future will be vastly more surprising than anything we can imagine. We could never predict what the future will bring if we were to stop guessing and instead just wait and see.
