To postulate astronomical behaviour is one order of thought to prove its demonstration is of quite another order. The rotation of the earth had been accepted since Copernicus but it remained for Foucault to demonstrate it. He suspended an iron ball pendulum from the dome of the Pantheon in Paris set it swinging and chartered its constantly rotating angular shift and proved it to rotate completely in one day." Dibner Heralds of Science 17. Although the rotation of the earth had been accepted since Copernicus it was Foucault who first demonstrated it by experiment."His early experiments were private but Louis Napoleon later Napoleon III became so interested that he arranged for them to be repeated publicly. This was a splendid affair which took place in the Pantheon in 1851 before a fashionable audience. A heavy ball was suspended from the dome on a wire 220 feet long; beneath the ball was a table 12 feet in diameter covered with sand on which the ball would leave a mark. This is known as 'Foucault's pendulum'. It soon became apparent that the plane in which the pendulum was swinging moved in a clockwise direction and in about thirty-two hours the plane of vibration had completed a full circuit. The audience in the Pantheon was greatly impressed; some ladies fainted with excitement while other spectators maintained that they could feel the earth move beneath them" PMM 330. "Continuing to experiment on the mechanics of the earth's rotation Foucault in 1852 invented the gyroscope which he showed gave a clearer demonstration than the pendulum of the earth's rotation and had the property similar to that of the magnetic needle of maintaining a fixed diretion. Foucault's pendulum and gyroscope had more than a popular significance which continues to this day. First they stimulated the development of theoretical mechanics making relative motion and the theories of the pendulum and the gyroscope standard topics for study and investigation. Second prior to Foucault's demonstrations the study of those motions on the earth's surface in which the deflecting force of rotation plays a prominent part especially winds and ocean currents was dominated by unphysical notions of how this force acted. Foucault's demonstrations and the theoretical treatments they inspired showed conclusively that this deflecting fore acts in all horizontal directions thus providing the sound physical insight on which Buys Ballot Ferrel Ulrich Vettin and others could build" Dictionary of Scientific Biography V p. 86.

It was presented by Arago at the meeting of the Acadey of Scieces on February 3 1851 the first paper offered. In the third paper offered "Sur les ph�nom�nes d'orientation des corps tournant entra�n�s par un axe fixe." Foucault presents his invention of the GYROSCOPE a freely spinning flywheel which constitutes a different method of demonstrating the rotation of the Earth; he furthermore correctly predicts the use of the gyroscope as a compass. The word "gyroscope" was coined by Foucault on p. 427 of the third paper taken from the Greek meaning "to look at the rotation".<br><br>Ever since L�on Foucault's public demonstration of his pendulum experiment it has played a prominent role in physics physics education and the history of science. The Foucault pendulum is a long pendulum suspended high above the ground and carefully set into planar motion. The phenomenon described by Foucault concerns the orientation of the plane of oscillation of the pendulum. <br><br>"The experiment with the pendulum caused great excitement at the time. Heracleides had first suggested twenty-two centuries before that the earth was rotating and Copernicus had renewed the suggestion three centuries before. Since the time of Galileo two and a half centuries before the world of scholarship had not doubted the matter. Nevertheless all evidence as to that rotation had been indirect and not until Foucault's experiment could the earth's rotation actually be said to have been demonstrated rather that deduced." <br><br>"Continuing to experiment on the mechanics of the earth's rotation Foucault in 1852 invented the gyroscope which he showed gave a clearer demonstration than the pendulum of the earth's rotation and had the property similar to that of the magnetic needle of maintaining a fixed direction. Foucault's pendulum and gyroscope had more than a popular significance which continues to this day. First they stimulated the development of theoretical mechanics making relative motion and the theories of the pendulum and the gyroscope standard topics for study and investigation. Second prior to Foucault's demonstrations the study of those motions on the earth's surface in which the deflecting force of rotation plays a prominent part especially winds and ocean currents was dominated by unphysical notions of how this force acted. Foucault's demonstrations and the theoretical treatments they inspired showed conclusively that this deflecting force acts in all horizontal directions thus providing the sound physical insight on which Buys Ballot Ferrel Ulrich Vettin and others could build.
