The "Strangeness of Science" you might think is about science but everything he explains or describes is about our world. Our world is filled with oddities and phenomena and we find new and stranger happenings everyday. Richard Dawkins explain these events with a sense of marvel in his lecture "Queer Universe".
But what he is trying to convey in his message other than the oddities of science is the that there is still so much to learn, that so much of our world is always around us but because of our concept of the world, the "middle world", we are blindfolded and unable to see all the other worlds around us. We must "think outside the box" to try to really understand all of the systems and complexities that occur all around us everyday but we are blind to. Even still we might believe that we understand something but in reality we do not, every science is interconnected to create this world, so unless we know all there is to know we will never really understand.
