Pockets or layers of air at different temperature? That would never
affect a view of the horizon, right?

Why not? Air density drops rapidly with altitude, causing refraction as
light travels through the air. The net result is that, if the air were
perfectly clear and the Earth perfectly spherical, you could see
significantly more of Earth from any given position than you would
expect if you didn't take refraction into effect. You can still see the
setting Sun for many minutes after you might otherwise expect it to
disappear below the horizon, because it's light in bent by refraction
(and, of course, see the rising Sun several minutes earlier for the same
reason).

There's an interesting atmospheric condition seen at the Alps (Europe)
that's called "Föhn". Warm winds from the south (Italy) are streaming
over the mountains. At the German side there's cold air and the warm
air streams over that cold air. The different density of the cold/warm
air "bends" the line of sight so that the mountains appear to be much
higher than they effectively are (i.e. as seen on non-Föhn condition).
This refraction effect is depicted in the picture behind the link[*];
blue is the line of sight, and red is the perceived line of sight.

Light can deviate from straight lines when passing through the atmosphere due to passing through 
areas of different density.  This can be observed when looking over a plain heated by the sun, where 
it results in a kind of shimmering of distant objects.  (It can also lead to the optical illusion of 
water in the distance when there is no water.)

I recall watching a "flat earth" video on YouTube which discussed viewing Chicago(?) across Lake 
Michegan, where this was a real factor that needed to be considered in the picture - i.e. either 
quite a bit more or less of the Chicago skyscrapers was visible than would be the case if the light 
was travelling in straight lines.

Clearly light travels in "mostly straight" lines, but really if someone wants to argue this as 
/proof/ that the world is not flat, the onus is on the arguers to /prove/ that the light path is 
perfectly straight...


Regards,
Mike.

In the real world, two reasons: refraction, and gravity. However, if
Selby were trying to teach skepticism, the important thing is not
whether there are known reasons why light would not travel in straight
lines. The important point is that it must be established that it does
travel in straight lines, it cannot simply be assumed.

You can't prove that light always travels in straight lines, for the
same reason why you can't prove the truth of any other general statement
about the real world. The most you can do is collect enough evidence to
justify a high level of confidence in the truth of such a statement.
In particular, it is possible to collect evidence sufficient to support
an accurate theory about how light travels through space, including the
effects of both refraction and gravity. Such a theory can then be used
to show that a horizon remains inconsistent with a flat earth, even
taking those effects into consideration.

However, the end result of teaching skepticism properly should have been
boys who were competent to explain the evidence that rules out a flat
earth. From Malcolm's own description, none of them were able to do so,
and that makes Selby a bad teacher.

Any idiot can teach the argument against a flat Earth. The hard part is 
teaching people how to construct that argument, off their own bat, 
without other people telling them what it is, and so that it stands up 
to deep-seated misconceptions which are not without considerable 
justification (historically, not that the earth is flat, but that it is 
the centre of the universe).

That's what Selby was tryng to do. And he might not have been perfect at 
it. But he had a pretty good go. And he was only a maths teacher. He 
wasn't formally qualified to teach philosophy.

Not per se (as others have already explained), and certainly not from
a static perspective.

But there's a chance when travelling per ship and approach Alexandria
from sea. The light from the lighthouse of Pharos might first be seen,
and when approaching further some lower details of the building or of
the surface. Not sure, though, whether one's eye-sight is sufficient
to recognize the effect, I don't think they had spyglasses back then.

The argument was that the Earth is indeed flat and only appears to be 
round because light does not travel in straight lines. It was extremely 
carefully constructed to be very difficult to disprove, and Selby 
claimed that you could only disprove it if you knew the principle of the 
constancy of the velocity of light. Now it wasn't Selby's invention. It 
was his brilliance to realise that he could use that pedogogically to 
teach boys how to think.

Assuming you and your teacher respectively refer to the Theory of
Relativity. - I don't think that was "brilliant". - If you'd have
bending effects of the light in presence of a huge gravity field
then you'd notice speed differences of the sunlight while the sun
is wandering across the ecliptic.

Muddying simple geometrical things (the round earth) by introducing
unnecessarily and only partly(!) explained other theories or facts
(like the velocity of light) is, "pedagogically", not very clever.
It would certainly had been better if teachers teach facts and not
try (and very likely to fail) to be "brilliant" and make some kids
doubt in centuries' old knowledge that's proved by evidence. (YMMV)

Given that the spherical earth was not only proven but also the
accepted knowledge since long; it's more "amazing" that some folks
without necessity make up absurd theories or thought experiments,
and yet more are willing to accept such nonsense. (Generally said,
not related to your teacher whose ideas I just got by hearsay here.)

Selby wasn't a great physicist and he wasn't trying to teach physics. It 
was "You say that light travels in straight lines, but what is the basis 
for that belief? Why do you think that?". He was trying to teach 
philosophy. And he was very good at it.

Velocity differences, yes, speed differences, no. Because the speed of 
light is a constant.

It's fine to challenge pupils to prove that the earth is not flat, and 
to force them to think about things that they take for granted.  But 
that's not what you said he did.

There are teachers who hold all kinds of weird and nonsensical beliefs, 
just as in many other areas of life.  People can believe what they want 
- freedom of religion is important.  But what they /teach/, or how they 
otherwise interact with people that they have power or authority over, 
is a different matter.

There are surely good teachers out there that believe the earth is flat. 
  But if they teach it, they are not good teachers - and that's what you 
said this guy did.

And if he is just trying to challenge the kids to justify their 
conviction that the earth is not flat, and he left them unable to prove 
their claims, then he is still bad.  Now the kids are left confused - 
they don't know whether they are wrong to think the earth is round, or 
whether it is something that everyone believes without proof and that 
it's okay to believe things because simply because lots of other people 
believe them.

> 
> But it perfectly justified "Selby always teaches crap".

For the sake of that guy's reputation, I'll assume you are right that he 
was a good teacher - but it is not what you said.

It gets really bad in societies where teachers are forced to teach
against all reasons, and some (even basic) knowledges just banned.

David, this is why this newsgroup has such a poor signal-to-noise ratio.

That's right, it's helping us remember which trig functions are positive in each of the four quadrants!

Your example shows why I never liked this sort of "help".  Remembering
where to start and what order to label the quadrants is harder (for me)
than knowing how trig functions work.

Now, can we find a good mnemonic for C's operator precedence levels?
Extra credit if left/right associativity is also covered.  (Few! On
topic again.)

The standard doesn't describe operator precedence levels. It provides
grammar rules, and precedence must be inferred from the grammar. I've
found that it is not widely understood how to infer precedence from the
grammar. A shortcut you can use is the fact that the relevant section is
organized in order of decreasing precedence, but you have to know the
precedence to realize that - the standard doesn't mention that fact.

Really? But it's dead trivial.

The parent production has lower precedence than the child; e.g.

  additive_expression '+' multiplicative_expression.

The '+' has precedence over '*' and '/' because the
multiplicative_expression is an indivisible symbol in the
additive_expression rule. The rule does not "see" the multiplicative
symbols at all, but a multiplicative_expression phrasal unit.

That's basically it.

I suppose if you don't know a grammar from a hammer, this might
not click.
