Perspective is everything.
A simple example to understand how perspective can alter reality is to imagine being a point floating in a 3-D space where you are able to see the X-Y-Z axes. Now, imagine tracing (0,0,0) when you are at (500,500,500). Trivial.
Now, trace (0,0,10^100). That is a huge Z-line you would say. This is the side view.
Now, move to (0,0,10^100) from (500,500,500).
This is the top view. What do you see?
Another example:
When viewed from perpendicular to X-Y plane, a circular motion on X-Y plane looks properly circular.
When the same motion is viewed standing far away on the X-axis, the motion resembles an oscillation.
Same motion, different perspectives, seemingly different results.
