Scientifically speaking, on an infinite plane, the horizon will always remain at eye level. If it were spherical, you could measure the hight to horizon level. The higher you are the lower the horizon. Do you have proof that doesn't come from the scientific community that the horizon lowers? The only thing we can unanimously compare is a airline flight. An average person has access to it. The horizon remains the same on a plane or on land. Perspective changes but the vanishing point doesn't.
But why do things vanish over that line the way they do? You can see the top of a ship before the bottom etc. And if it’s just because of perspective why can’t I see past it with a telescope?
Because it's a vanishing point. The human eye and camera technology can only see so far. An optical illusion causes things to vanish because you can only perceive so much at a time. A telescope can shatter the curvature myth. A lighthouse shatters that myth. A Lazer. People have done the experiments. This technology is available to the average person.
Let's say you entertain the idea that the earth is flat. How would the horizon work? My answer is, exactly how it works now. Do you believe it would work differently?
Yes, it would work very differently. Ships don’t get so small as to disappear from view like sheep might, ships go over a line and disappear. It’s not a perspective thing. I don’t know if you live by the sea but it’s just not.
