The scientist Bertrand Russell once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how earth orbits the sun, and the forces holding our galaxy together. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady stood up in the back of the theater and said,It’s turtles all the way down
“What you’ve just told us is rubbish. The world is a flat plate, resting on the back of a giant tortoise.”
Russell asked, “What is the tortoise resting on?’
The old lady replied, “You’re very clever, sir. Very clever. But it’s turtles all the way down.”
