"Queerer Than We Suppose: the strangeness of science" by Richard Dawkins

Richard Dawkins' jaw-dropping talk on our bizarre universe (TEDTalks)



Richard Dawkins is Oxford University's "Professor for the Public Understanding of Science." Author of the landmark 1976 book, The Selfish Gene, he's a brilliant (and trenchant) evangelist for Darwin's ideas. In this talk, titled, "Queerer Than We Suppose: The strangeness of science," he suggests that the true nature of the universe eludes us, because the human mind evolved only to understand the "middle-sized" world we can observe.
