so what happens whenn.....

I don't know. Running forums is kind of hard especially when you want to get things done fast... my advice to you Tom Bishop is to relax more... You are so Formal here.

My apologies, I returned the post back to its original state the moment I clicked on it.

Lighten up Tom

I <3 you



Sorry late night sleepiness is setting in. Good night everyone who reads this... even if it's the morning when it's read. Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night.

but yea...if you can't afford to make a Cavendish Apparatus then you shouldn't be able to afford your computer, monitor, mouse, keyboard, desk, food, water, electricity, home....

I'll presume you meant the Foucault Pendulum, not the complex Cavendish Experiment.

The Foucault Pendulum is flawed because we must assume that there is zero effect in a room which could affect the pendula. If you've ever yawned and made your ears pop from within the room of a house you've equalized the pressure in your middle ear with the pressure of the room. The air pressure is always and perpetually changing in a room, however minutely. As you take a deep breath your jaw pulls on your ear muscles and the middle ear is opened to the outside environment. Through a manual yawn we can make the popping noise over and over again, attesting to the quickly changing pressures of a room.

Thus, being concluded that pressure is always changing, we all know that different surrounding pressures creates "wind" which is basically air particles moving from areas of high to low pressures. There could be slight imperceptible winds in the stillness of a room. And indeed, even without pressure changes there are - every motion of your body makes wind.

There is also a matter of which hand you use to drop the pendula and let it swing freely. From the issues I've looked at with inconsistent rotation it seems that some authors believe inconsistency or consistency in the direction of its rotation has statistical significance to the left or right handedness of the observer putting the pendula into motion. It is extraordinarily difficult to drop a pendula with zero angular velocity - maybe even impossible.

Here's an experiment any one of us can conduct: Construct a simple Foucault Pendulum in our bedroom from ceiling to floor and see if the pendua's motions are modified when is a door is opened, a window is opened, the temperature of the room is turned up or down, and if one uses his bad hand to put it into motion.

Please do not assume, I know what I'm talking about.  Get your head out of Foucault and into Cavendish.
