Nice.

Last time I heard "Turtles all the way down" from someone else was during a conversation with a co-worker. Years ago. So long I can't remember the day. Nearly a decade, methinks.

I love that story, and sometimes use the phrase to signify belief that a statement is unproveable in conversation, typically just before concluding said conversation. I've never met anyone aside from the aforementioned co-worker who understood the phrase, until I saw this thread. I guess that's the PE forums for you.

Apart from physicists and mathematicians, the readers of the Science of Discworld will recognize the statement.

This kind of thread could only turn up in a very rare breed of forum... I think we're due to be put one some list for almost extinct species any day now by the UN...

Just saw the POTM nomination.

So now we know the secret to getting A POTM nomination...turtles!

Though personally, I think whales ought to work as well.

Seriously, it's a testament to the weirdness of the Paradox forums that simple threads can turn on their heads like this...
