Why, in an age of space telescopes and satellite images, are more people than ever questioning the very shape of our world? Infinite Horizon is not another book about whether the Earth is flat or round. It is a deep and compelling journey into a far more urgent question: why we believe what we do in an age of chaos and mistrust. Embarking on a global investigation, the author steps beyond the debate to understand the human heart of the flat-Earth movement. This gripping narrative takes you from the historic canals of England where the modern theory was born, to tense dinners with scientists and fervent believers, and into the remote, icy landscapes of Antarctica in search of a mythical edge. Through intimate, compassionate conversations with a cast of unforgettable characters-astronomers in their observatories, plumbers trusting their spirit levels, priests reading scripture as a cosmic map, and everyday people who have lost faith in the "official story"-Infinite Horizon reveals that this phenomenon is not about ignorance, but about a profound human search for meaning, community, and a place in the cosmos. This book is a mirror reflecting the great anxieties and questions of our time: * What happens when trust in authority, science, and media collapses? * Are we all feeling a deep "nostalgia for a finite world" to escape the vertigo of an infinite universe? * Where is the line between healthy skepticism and crippling conspiracy? Infinite Horizon is a beautifully written, philosophical exploration that maps the frontiers of belief itself. It is an essential read for anyone who has ever looked at the horizon and wondered not just what lies beyond, but why that line holds such powerful sway over the human soul.
