For a brief period of time I was a semi-holocaust denier... 
That's about the most embarrassing / stupid thing I've ever thought plausible. Clearly I didn't have very good critical thinking skills at that time. Later I began using my brain.
"Theory 1 - Regress of Microscopic Universes" - I've thought similar things before. Actually, I thought of something a few days back when I was wondering what the smallest 'bit' of matter was. I had this zany idea that the smallest 'bit' of whatever is also the largest 'bit', in a sort of cyclic fashion. So, looking at the smallest piece of matter is also like looking at the largest bit. Sort of analogous to looking in a mirror when there's another mirror behind you or... a shepard tone. Maybe an Escher drawing is more fitting.
The idea is so damn incoherent I can't even explain it.
