Not to worry, Chris. DQ is what science calls "chance," "random," or 
"spontaneous."  Fits right into scientific understanding and method. As the 
astrophysicist Arthur Eddington said, "Something unknown is doing we don't 
know what." At least he admitted it. Many scientists won't. But that's 
their problem, not ours.
