Revision history of "Foucault's pendulum"

This is a list of past revisions of Foucault's pendulum. Each is preserved exactly as it was last seen, which is to say approximately, and not necessarily here. Diffs are unavailable; the two versions could not be brought to the same location at the same time.

• cur | prev March 2017 T. Vogel (talk | contribs) . . (1,560 bytes) (+300) . . (→ In this encyclopedia: the experiment that moved the question indoors. it does not merely say the Earth turns; it says how fast, at your latitude, and it will not be argued out of the sine)
• cur | prev 1954 M. Allais (talk | contribs) . . (1,260 bytes) (+100) . . (→ talk: I have hung one on a ball in a cup rather than a fixed point, and I record a turn during the eclipse that I cannot account for ~~~~)
• cur | prev 1913 an engineer (talk | contribs) . . (1,160 bytes) (+80) . . (→ the gyroscope has gone to sea. it holds north without a magnet and without the sky, which the Admiralty finds more persuasive than the philosophy ever was)
• cur | prev 1903 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (1,080 bytes) (+90) . . (rv the Concord; then the aether must sweep as the sine of the latitude, fully at the pole and not at all at the equator, and must move pendulums and nothing else in the room. you may have that aether. it is this one with another name on it)
• cur | prev 1902 the Concord (talk | contribs) . . (990 bytes) (−70) . . (→ struck the rotation; it is the aether that sweeps round us and carries the plane with it. the pendulum is quite correct and has been misinterpreted ~~~~)
• cur | prev 1883 E. Mach (talk | contribs) . . (1,060 bytes) (+140) . . (→ the plane holds steady with respect to something, and I say the something is the distant masses of the universe rather than space itself. this does not make the floor stationary and I have never said that it did)
• cur | prev 1868 an executor (talk | contribs) . . (920 bytes) (+40) m . . (→ Léon Foucault: died 11 February at Paris, aged forty-eight. the hands went first, which for him was the cruellest order to lose things in)
• cur | prev 1852 L. Foucault (talk | contribs) . . (880 bytes) (+150) . . (→ built a second instrument on a different principle, a spinning rotor in gimbals, which does the same thing. I have called it the gyroscope. the doubters may now doubt two of them)
• cur | prev 1851 a sceptic (talk | contribs) . . (730 bytes) (+60) m . . (→ talk: the wire is twisted, the release was uneven, the building is not still. every one of these has been put to me and every one is answerable, but I record that they were put ~~~~)
• cur | prev March 1851 L. Foucault (talk | contribs) . . (670 bytes) (+190) . . (→ repeated under the dome of the Panthéon, sixty-seven metres of wire and twenty-eight kilogrammes of lead, so that the argument may be had in public and settled by looking)
• cur | prev 3 February 1851 L. Foucault (talk | contribs) . . (480 bytes) (+480) . . (created; a weight on a wire in the Meridian Room. the plane of swing turns and the wire does not. I invite the Observatory to come and watch the floor move, which is a thing I did not expect to write)

Older revisions exist but have not been located. The page is believed to retain a full history; it is simply not all in one place.
