- pengaru 7y agoI'm surprised to see Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory listed still. When I last visited Wilson Hall which must have been nearly a decade ago now, the pendulum had been removed. If memory serves it happened after the cable snapped from wear and they decided to just get rid of it. This [0] post claims they removed it in 2010. It was kind of mesmerizing to watch back in the day, Wilson Hall is a tall building with an open center, it made for a great Foucault Pendulum.
