Catastrophe is an essential force in nature, not aberrational, but inevitable. Catastrophe is a creative event that we must accept as such. There is no antiscientism about such a philosophical acceptance, nor should this book be considered an attack on science. Rather, it hopes to offer a slightly different perspective on our understanding of the universe. With that viewpoint we intend to point out once again what the British biologist J. B. S. Haldane had learned at the close of a long and distinguished career: "The universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose."
