[QUOTE="prodromos, post: 77638219, member: 19467"] This doesn't demonstrate what you claim to be happening. The distance between Syene and Alexandria is approximately 500 miles. The distance between the gaps in the clouds forming crepuscular rays is likely around a mile or less but orders of magnitude further away. The illusion is caused because our brains have no reference to judge the distance to the gaps in the clouds, which are both high in altitude and very far distant. Our brains think the gaps are as distant as the horizon when they are in fact much further away. [/QUOTE]
