I am a massive fan of Terry Pratchet, I've read every one of his books, everything I know of that he has published, and have even been lucky enough to meet him in person once. He said to me, 'Niel you have a very excited face', and I replied, 'off course, this is the day I met my hero'. That said, it is clear I am one of the millions of gushing fans, and this is a tribute to the disc-world series. I tried to picture what the discworld would be like if Terry described it using metaphors for something that actually could exist. So my take is that the the great A'tuin the big turtle with four elephants on his back carying a world that is a disc, could be seen as a far-off nebula below a planet shattered sometime in its primordial past, perhaps by a black-hole, the rupture of which also cuts the membrane between this universe and another which explains all the magic on the Discworld. A kind of Discworld demystified.
