ASSUMPTIONS that the world is flat and people would fall over the edge if they went to the end of the horizon disappeared over 3,500 years ago because that non-existent edge gets farther as people climbed higher.

Stand at sea level and your horizon is 4.7km away. But on Level 65, Komtar, your gaze will sweep over the curvature of the planet.
