Foucault's Pendulum Physical Experiment

Witness one of the most elegant experiments in science. Foucault’s pendulum quietly proves that Earth is always rotating. As the pendulum swings in a straight path, the ground beneath slowly turns with the planet, creating a visual demonstration of Earth’s motion. This experiment has been displayed in universities and museums worldwide for over 170 years because it shows the physics of our spinning world in the simplest possible way. Watch closely and see our planet #EarthRotation #ScienceReels
