Have you ever read the magnificent book of (one of my favorite writers) Umberto Ecco that has the title "Foucault's Pendulum"?
When I fisrt bought the book, what had cought my attention was the title of course. I recognised mr.Foucault's name right away. But, to be completely honest with you, even if I am not considered amongst the clueless people, I couldn't answer the question of 'where does this title come from?'.

I hate being ignorant, so I searched the net, and I found the best site ever that explains vividly and with animation, what is this pendulum and what does Foucault has to do with it. The people behind these [cleverly set] 7 html pages that will explain everything to you, in an excellent way.
So, I will post the link here, and I will leave the rest to them, and to you of course, who are interested in the subject :)!
So, dear all, what is a pendulum anyway??
//oh my, I totally forgot: Happy New Year everyone!! Wish you happiness for 2009!
