Your reflections on Uncertainty
Considering that the universe is much wider than us, accepting uncertainty is physics appears to be an honest, almost religious orientation towards the the expansiveness that is Space. There's so much we cannot know, as a species, as individuals, and the more we learn, the more we realize we don't know.
Your comments on Causality
As someone who has studied astrology for the past 14 years, the question of causality versus synchronicity is often on my mind. I feel that the answer is beyond concept, but it's still a worthwhile dilemma to explore. Many times in my life, I have seen the effects of synchronicity, or ease, versus my own desire to push forward and attain the results based on my own ideals. For example, as soon as I entered TCM school, I was introduced to two amazing acupuncturists, both of whom I work for. In other instances in my life, there wasn't as much support for my efforts.
Is the Universe weird?
Yes, the universe is weird. However, I imagine to call something weird is to make an object out of it, thus disassociating oneself from the shared origin with the object in question. This classification of weirdness as pertaining to the universe may reflect and Eurocentric bias, which searches for causation in all phenomenon. I can't say so for sure, due to respect for the element of uncertainty, but I imagine those with greater integration with the cycles of nature, both terrestrial and cosmic, may not feel that the universe is weird in the same way that I do. I think another underlying assumption in classifying something as weird is that it is not necessarily useful in your world outlook. Identifying things or actions as weird exposes an underlying utilitarian approach to life, that things are only 'normal' insofar as they bring expected results to the person engaging with them.
