Bertrand Arthur William Russell a well-known scientist once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy(milky way). At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: “what you have told is rubbish. The world is really flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise .” the scientist gave a superior smile before replying, “what is tortoise standing on ?” .. she replied smiling: you’re very clever, young man, very clever.
