I guess I understand why so many are so full of vitriolic loathing when they discuss "Foucault's Pendulum". It isn't really a thriller, nor a consipiracy theory text, nor a philosophical treatise, nor an easy read.

We know this device today as the Foucault pendulum. Almost every major science museum has one on display. We have ours here at the University of Louisville too, in the dome of Grawemeyer Hall, the administration building.

The swing of Foucault's pendulum depends on the way we set it into the motion. If we set the pendulum in motion by a short push at the position of equilibrium it will swing as it is shown in animation. Actually the speed of the pendulum in the extreme positions is the speed of the earth rotation in the point of observation.
