Huge thanks to the University of Puget Sound for their help in making this video possible.
Here is a look behind the scenes for this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkgOw...
Foucault Pendulums probably are my favourite science experiment - how amazing is it that someone figured out how to watch the world turn just by watching a pendulum for a long time?


Note: the 2nd video about how the first one was made -- covers a number of the issues which we discussed
