Come See the Earth Turn

A sickly child, a poor student, and a medical school dropout, LÃ©on Foucault seemed an unlikely candidate for greatness. But his ingenious experimentâ€”simple, beautiful, and stunningly originalâ€”changed how we see the world.
Â
Scientists knew that the earth turned on its axis. But how could they prove it? Countless experiments had been tried . . . and had failed. Then, one historic day in Paris, LÃ©on Foucault gave a magnificent demonstration that offered the proof everyone had been looking for.

Discover the improbable story of the man behind the famous Foucaultâ€™s Pendulum.
