    If you're genuinely asking, here's a simple and honest answer:
    You can’t see Mount Everest because — whether the Earth is flat or round — your vision is limited by atmosphere, distance, and perspective.
    Let’s break it down with some common sense:
    If you were standing on a perfectly flat road — like the Nullarbor Plain in Australia — and a kangaroo was standing 200 km away, you wouldn’t see it. Not because of curvature, but because:

    • The human eye has natural limits
    • Dust, humidity, and light scatter obscure distant objects
    • Even with no obstructions, you'd need a high-powered telescope to make out anything that far
    • Mount Everest is around 8,848 metres tall, but it's also thousands of kilometres away from most parts of the world — it’s not in your backyard

    So the question isn’t “Why can’t I see Everest?” — the better question is:
    Do you understand how big the Earth actually is and how sightlines work in real conditions?

    Also — just to be fair — accusing someone of turning a discussion into a “religious spamfest” is a bit dismissive, especially when the original intention was to ask questions and challenge long-held assumptions.
    You don’t have to agree — but if we’re going to talk about truth, let’s do it with mutual respect and logic, not sarcasm and assumptions.
