William James was giving a lecture about the nature of life and the universe. Afterward, an old woman came up to him and said, Professor James, you have it all wrong.”
“How so, madam?”
“Things aren’t at all like you said.” The world is on the back of turtles.”
“Hmm,” mused the professor. “That may be so, but where does that turtle stand?”
“On the back of another turtle.”
“But, madam, where does that turtle stand?”
The old woman replied triumphantly, “It’s no use, professor, it’s turtles all the way down!”
Benn, have you read any of the Disc World books? In it, there is a giant turtle and some elephants that hold it up. https://blizzardwatch.com/2019/04/19/off-topic-getting-started-sir-terry-pratchetts-discworld/ I’m working my way through them all and am in love with his writing.

I’m not sure how I feel about the old woman’s theory. It does, however, bring up more questions. 🤓
