I will be the judge of what I think.

You didn't ask that question to me. You're the one dodging now.

The reason why parallel railroad tracks seem to meet at the horizon is because distances look smaller when further away from our point of view, and you take the liberty to extrapolate that and say that this apparent distance becomes zero when it's far enough from our eyes. They never truly meet at any point; they never even optically appear to meet. At that point, our eyes simply can no longer see enough detail to tell.

What I find funny is that you roast us over the lack of evidence, but you cannot even post a real picture in which railroad tracks clearly meet at the horizon.

Well no, my IQ has nothing to do with this. I simply understand primitive geometry. If you look up at the sky you may occasionally see flying airplanes. Despite the fact that they are nowhere near the horizon, they actually look much smaller than when you stand right next to them at the airport. Surprising, isn't it? Likewise, when you are flying in an airplane you may look down on the ground below you and be amazed that everything looks very very small, despite the fact that it's right below you and nowhere near the horizon.
These are true things I'm telling you, as much as you may think I'm lying. Thing really do get smaller as they move further away, even if they do NOT move towards the horizon.

It’s a circle

you're not qualified to be a judge of anything, expect staying within the lines busdriver man.

"Seem to meet" - i guess your referring to the difference between optical perspective and irl so close but

Still didn't answer what the horizon is and whether its up or down from where you stand?

dont dodge

also 2 sec google search shows this, sorry you cant do that

I'm qualified enough to know you're dumb.
