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.
But they don't dissappear. You can look up a number of experiments with cameras and telescopes. It's an optical illusion. For instance, you can see a ship dissappear on camera, put a telescope on said camera and boom, ship reappears. So I don't know what you're basing your observation on. The naked eye? You can only perceive so much. As an artist we call it the vanishing point. Has nothing to do with curvature and everything to do with physics and perception.
Again, there are examples.
How would the horizon work on flat earth? Could I see a ship a million miles away? How do you think a artist would draw that?
