Inspiration
"Turtles all the way down" is a reference to the story of a conversation between a scientist and an old woman. The scientist, holding a public lecture on astronomy, was claimed by the woman to utter nonsense as the world was carried on the back of a giant turtle. This "World Turtle" is a religious myth which exists in Hindu mythology, Chinese mythology and Native American mythology. Asking the old woman what the turtle itself was sitting on, he was given the answer that it was sitting on another turtle. Asking what this lower turtle was sitting on, the woman apparently told him that it was "turtles all the way down".

While the origin and whether the story is true is debated, it is in any case somewhat old and well-known.
