Thank you! I live in Boston and am a frequent visitor to the Museum of Science, which has a Foucault pendulum. I never truly grasped the explanation until reading your post.
- lurquer 7y agoThanks. I found that explanation a long time ago in some remote corner of the internet... some Japanese website about Transformers and Decipticons as I recall. Ages ago -- when the Internet was young -- I tried to put the explanation in the Foucaults article on Wikipedia... it lasted about 30 minutes before getting deleted and replaced with the usual trig stuff.
- fatnoah 7y ago> lasted about 30 minutes before getting deleted and replaced My one and only attempt to edit Wikipedia was to redact a statement on the article about the Semantic Web that had recently been changed to note that someone named Dr. Foch was attempting to weaponize the semantic web in support of a Chinese takeover of the world. My edit was immediately removed for not having a valid reference...nevermind that the original note didn't either.
