The pillars are still there, it's just hard to tell one from another
Closer to left
It doesn't make the hallway appear to be curving
You lose the objects you are closer to first
The ocean doesnt curve either
There is a difference between losing an object and not being able to distinguish it from other objects
You are just losing what's closest to you first
The human eye has angular resolution limit of .02 degrees
Once the light hits the retina at .02 degrees resolution the object is no longer reasolvable
You dont lose the entire object all at once
Just the part that reached the resolution limit
As it gets further away, the angle will continue to become more shallow
Ah ok now I see
Until it all disappears
So for example if there was something sticking out from between two of the farther pillars you would see it
It appears like there is a curve
Yes you would see things sticking out
Ok I'm following
Its called gradiant slope or optical slant
Imagine looking at a painting on the wall
You would only see the frame
The angle is gone
So as an expansion of that, say the hallway went as far as the eye could see, until the left pillars melded with the right
And there were mini sails sticking out from between the pillars on the left
At the same distance
Right so if you put a boat going down the hallway...you would lose the portion you are closest to first
It would need to be a very long hallway
Miles and miles
Hmm ok
How does the sail disappear so fast then
Wouldn't it have to travel much further to disappear?
The sail disapears last cuz its further away from you
Ok
Imagine the sail isnt a sail
Its billions and trillions of points of light
Trillions of photons coming to your eye
Those photons are on a steeper angle than the hull compared to your position on the beach
The sail is higher up
Steeper angle
Will be resolvable longer
