RE: "strangeness" quote




All right, I'll bite...even if it's only to give the guys the gratification
of showing me to be wrong:

The actual quotation:

"The universe is not only queerer than we imagine, it is queerer than we can
imagine."
(always good for an adolescent classroom snicker)

and I believe it is Arthur Stanley Eddington.

Can someone please tell me the exact wording and
source of a quotation that was something like:

The Universe is not only stranger than we had
imagined. It is even stranger than we can imagine.

Many thanks,
