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.
