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

Then go up to the wall and look down 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

See how the light blends together on right side of hallway faster than left side

Cuz the camera is closer to right side

The angle is more shallow

But the hallway doesnt curve

We know that

Yet we lose the door frames and picture frames

Oh lord
