[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fascinated by this question. I love this phrase. You can use it to reference something particularly deep/intricate/confusing or even a conspiracy theory of sorts. When I was a kid, I heard the (probably apocryphal) story about someone confidently telling a scientist that the universe is actually built on the back of a turtle, and underneath that, another turtle, and another, and so on. I’m 35 FWIW. [/quote] Stephen Hawking is who shared this story in “A Brief History of Time.” Other versions are “rocks all the way down” or “tigers all the way down.” [/quote]
