The "Turtles all the way down" metaphor was popularized by Stephen Hawking. It states that the world rests upon the shell of a turtle which rests upon the shell of another turtle and it's turtles all the way down. This metaphor points out a problem inherent in cosmology and astrophysics, which is that all of our "knowledge" of science could quickly be regarded as blasphemous if one little thing disproves our entire understanding of the universe.
