I'm reminded of a party scene in the classic movie "Animal House" where
college freshman "Otter", under the influence of cannabis, is having his
imagination
temporarily -stretched- in the midst of a conversation with his English
profession, played by an equally stoned Donald Sutherland.
"You mean all the atoms in my body are made up of electrons spinning
around a nucleus," Otter exclaims "just like a miniature solar system?"
Suddenly, Otter grasps the implications, "Wow!"
Well, you had to remember the scene. ;-)
Nah, was Pinto who was having the "infinite regress" conversation with the
Prof. Not sure where Otter was at the time, IIRC it was the Prof, Boone,
Katie (Boone's girl) and Pinto (the new recruit, besides Flounder). Next
scene ended up singing "Hey Paula". Yes, I've watched it too many times. :)
Hmm... I remember back in the days of my youth watching Carl Sagan discuss
the same thing in his "Cosmos" series.
