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
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
See the building you are closer to becomes less reasolvable than the building further away
Satan never could understand optics
🤗
I'm gonna have to continue this in a bit I gotta get back to work
In the meantime what's the distance that is required for a ship to fully disappear relative to its height
