"perspective matrix" seems very legit :rofl: I bet closest he got to a matrix was the movie.
I bet you've never been beyond the curve you think is the horizon, if you cant - then your in the matrix.

try this then:
on a flat surface (plane) the horizon will always meet the observer at eye level regardless of how high they ascend.
on a sphere where the surface is always moving down and away from the observer the perceived edge or cuvature (horizon) will eventually disappear from view as the observer ascends higher and higher.
Now explain this using math
nice

Steps for getting to that conclusion:
1. You went outside.
2. You thought "Oh, it seems like the horizon is more-or-less eye level".
3. You thought "Well, I guess that proves that the horizon always meets the observer at eye level".
No actual experiments, no actual tests, no actual numbers or calculations. And you wonder why nobody takes you seriously.
No a 6 foot tall man and and 3 foot tall bot both look at the horizon at eye level, why is that?
you are at you 1sr floor apartment - you look out and see another building in front of the beach, you see the horizon is a almost the same level as the first floor.
your friend calls you up to his 30th floor - you look out his window and see the horizon in now 30 stories up - why?
