Too bad for you my concept was true and provable, and I can demonstrate that the reason straight lines tend towards the vanishing point is because of the changing angle between your vision and the object.


Don't waste your time.

I'll tell you the reason why, most don't know the difference between 2d and 3d. Our minds should think in 2d but our eyes work in 3d.
What we are seeing is not the truth, it is a result of perspective. People like you are convinced you are seeing the truth which is a classic and ridiculous misunderstanding.

What if earth is actually a 4 dimensional hyper cube?

Again if that were the case the sun would never go below the horizon. You would always be able to see it no matter how far away it got if you had a powerful telescope.

I understand how you're misunderstanding, you're probably only familiar with one point perspective drawings where everything converges into the vanishing point, however you need to understand why the horizon is even a thing:
Not only is the horizon the line where the ground plane converges with the sky plane, this convergence is not the same relative distance as the sky plane. The horizon is where the land raises to your eye level (3 -30 miles away), the sky works in inverse - the view of the sky and the sun becomes level with your eyesight is actually 3000+ miles away and the difference in these two points is what we see, they are not the same - or relative to a single point perspective of standard drawings.
