katch wreck`The Lense-Thirring effect, a prediction of general relativity, implies that massive rotating objects like Earth can slightly "drag" spacetime, which could affect the pendulum's oscillation. This effect, though theoretically significant, is currently too small to measure with a Foucault pendulum.`

Gemma ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭 🎐I don't remember hearing about this before, but the #FoucaultPendulum at the #SmithsonianInstitution in #WashingtonDC, was removed in 2008, and there are no plans to re-install it, ever.
I don't know about you, but the Foucault pedulums at the #FranklinInstitute in Philadelphia and at the #Smithsonian are two of the things that inspired me to pursue #Science.
It upsets me to know that it was removed and won't be reinstalled.

Patrick Koppenburg 🐧🐘I passed by twice. At 14:44 the pendulum was between U and S. At 15:19 above the M. In Paris you expect a full circle in 31h50mn. #FoucaultPendulum #PenduleDeFoucault
