Turtles on the way down5/24/2023 I think it will be a real eye-opener for you as it has been for me. I decided to purchase the book and dive in, just in case I am your ‘last resort’ for finding out what is contained therein. Written by an (anonymous) Israeli in Hebrew in 2019 (and that’s pre-Covid, I should note), the book has only now become available in the English translation as of July of this year. The point of the story is that it is ridiculous, to say the least, to have a theory built upon something nonsensical which relies on something else nonsensical…all the way down. The expert countered with, ‘but what is that turtle standing on?’ The answer was of course another larger turtle…and so on…all the way down. Instead this strange title for a book comes from the classic story of the person who challenged an expert on the structure of the universe and stated that in fact the earth was flat and was being held up by four elephants standing on a giant turtle’s back. Seuss was of course not a physician but rather an author of some 60 children’s books and a cartoonist. I have been reading the book: Turtles All the Way Down (by anonymous).
