Letter: What lies beyond the Zone of Utter Ignorance?

Published 20 September 2023

From David Foreman, Welcombe, Devon, UK

I would like to make a change to cartoonist Tom Gauld’s diagram of knowledge. Beyond the “Zone of Utter Ignorance” – in the interests of topicality and with half an eye on the future – should be added the “Event Horizon of Conspiracy Theory” (2 September, p 47).
