Go ask that the guy who is behind the account: ''The World Is Flat'' on the Hive, lol.

Guy is called Ash

We all know that this question is one of the questions that are impossible to answer due scientific (read: Medivh Tards), religious (read: Elenai) and (in)sanity related (read: You) reasons.

 

[Ghost765]

no you wouldnt. cause ur eye sight isnt good enough. it would just blend in wit the horizon.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

if there were no buildings and shit in the way and if you could see through all the pollution then yes. consider that impossible if china is between you and himalaya because not even superman could see through china's pollution

 

[Ghost765]

fyi. himalayas are the tallest thing atm in the world.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

similar traingle. if a skyscrapper stood right next to you, you wouldnt be able to see because of the angle

 

[Ghost765]

well then it depends on where youre standing.

 

[Megafyr]

Depends on in which direction you would be looking, I asume. : >

 

[Ghost765]

yes. if youre not facing the himalayas, you obviously wouldnt see it.

I don't think so.

 

[Hakeem]

A more feasible way to ask the question is to ask if we could see it if light ran parallel to the surface of the Earth.

I think the atmosphere would get in the way. When you look at far away hills, they turn bluer and bluer the farther away they are. Maybe if you used night vision goggles at night it might work, but the atmospheric scattering would probably still prevent it.

Of course if we got rid of the atmosphere...

 

[HFR]

That's because of the fog. Decrease it a bit and you'll see everything.
...

Holy shit, this isn't the Terraining Forum is?

It's possible to see the Everest but you must have a good vision to do it and no pollution or fog of war.

 

[~Void~]

This would happen.

fog of war.

You, sir, play too much Warcraft.

[Zartyzzo]

Depends on if the Himalaya mountains was flat too :O

 

[Nbah]

Lolwut? That doesn't make any sense.

 

[raid1000]

void does a really big doodad in shape of a dick count as a himalaya mountain? :S

no .

I found this thread (I think this should work) when I did a search for 'ash' like billy said.
