This is what early astronomers thought the orbit was. They believed the earth to be the center of the universe, and couldn't explain the strange orbits of the stars and planets.

And there’s still people out there, believing that.

Ridiculous. Clearly it's turtles all the way down.

Just the one turtle. Well, at least per world. I guess two, it you drop off the edge while they're mating.

And there's four elephants down there, too.

Wait. Is that one turtle per dimension, one turtle per universe, or one turtle that lives inside each black hole that’s really just a wormhole to another dimension/universe?
