Actually, tall buildings do converge. They just aren't tall enough to make it obvious visually to the naked eye. Take any image of a tall, rectangular building, and there will be a difference in width between the base and the top. Example:

Take a ruler or a piece of string, and measure the width at the bottom and at the top.


Since I'm talking about multiple buildings converging to a single point, your shifting the goalpost by not understanding again.

Those three buildings are not converging.

Umm... what? What's the difference between two sides of the same building and two sides of different buildings? If anything, the same building is a better test, because it's more likely that two sides of the same building are parallel to each other, than two different buildings.
Would it help your tiny mind understand if someone painted a set of railroad tracks on the building?

Twin towers. Full image:



Moved bottom and top together. The red line is the width of the two buildings at the bottom, the yellow is the width of both at the top. Clearly, the two towers are converging together.

The building is converging to a single point ≠ the buildings are converging to a single point

Do you understand the difference between singular and plural? Wow dealing with you is a handful, it's amazing you function at all.


Its like your cooking and the recipe and it calls for a teaspoon of salt and you think it well why not the whole box, haha ive outsmarted those cooking idiots!

Man, I feel so sorry for you.
Anyway, I posted two buildings converging. That's buildingS

Perspective in 3d space refers to a refer to singular plane, an entire building is space itself and encompases all three dimensions

Its plainly obvious you are total oblivious and clueless to Architectural photography techniques

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architectural_photography

A tenet of architectural photography is the use of perspective control, with an emphasis on vertical lines that are non-converging (parallel). This is achieved by positioning the focal plane of the camera at so that it is perpendicular to the ground, regardless of the elevation of the camera eye. This result can be achieved by the use of view cameras, tilt/shift lenses, or post-processing.

Classic ad-hominem, I should have posted this picture when you claimed the bottom half of the world spun in an opposite direction as the top half :wacko:

Card do you even know what your arguing at this point? How in the world do you think this one thing prov s flat earth?

Were arguing the topic - whether the earth is flat or a spinng ball, one thing doesnt prove the earth flat - there actually 100s.

Its funny because 3 years ago if i ask what proof do you have the Earth is Ball - every single person would posted the blue Marble from Nasa and yet today it boils down to
whether an airplane flight that no one's seen or been on is actually real, progress but its so sad really, people are hanging by a thread at this point, still trying to cling to a spinning ball.
