Turtles All The Way Down!

It is common practice to employ the metaphor "Turtles All the Way Down" when attempting to explain the issue of endless regression. The concept of the "World Turtle," which is supposed to be carrying the flat Earth on its back, is where it stems from in mythology. (Screen Rant, 2024) (3) The term is frequently used in popular culture to express the concept of unending explanations because there is no answer that can definitively address the question.

In the most recent instance, this metaphor gained widespread popularity as a result of a film adaptation of John Green's novel of the same name. Isabela Merced, Felix Mallard, and Cree Cicchino are the actors who appear in the film "Turtles All the Way Down," which was released on Max. A sixteen-year-old girl named Aza (Merced) who is diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder serves as the protagonist of the story, which also delves into topics such as love, friendship, and mental illness (1).
