Two philosophers were discussing infinity. Now one of the gentlemen was a member of the flat earth society.

The other was arguing that the former could not possibly believe in infinity.

He said, “If the world is flat what holds it up?”

The other spoke, “It sits on the back of a turtle.”

The first said, “How does that relate to infinity? What is under that turtle?”

The second replied, “Another turtle.”

The first said, “Again, what is under that turtle?”

“You are not catching on my friend.”

“It is turtles all the way down, to infinity.”
