This is my group of laser tag models playing a game around the pendulum in the "Pendulum Court" in the sciences building at BYU. I really like the colors and contrasts in this overhead shot.

Physical evidence of the rotation of the earth.
I made a second visit to the museum today, armed with a tripod, and managed to get off a few shots before I was told that tripods were not allowed. (:
This big pendulum tells the hour silently every day.

'The Pendulum', as our bunch used to refer to it, is the one that got me started on Eco. I picked up this copy in 1990 in the checkout line at the grocery. Since then I've enjoyed many of his books and essays. Another favorite was Art and Beauty in the Middle Ages.
The first public exhibition of a Foucault pendulum took place in February 1851 in the Meridian of the Paris Observatory. A few weeks later, Foucault made his most famous pendulum when he suspended a 28-kg brass-coated lead bob with a 67-m-long wire from the dome of the Panthéon, Paris. The plane of the pendulum's swing rotated clockwise approximately 11.3° per hour, making a full circle in approximately 31.8 hours. The original bob used in 1851 at the Panthéon was moved in 1855 to the Conservatoire des Arts et Métiers in Paris. A second temporary installation was made for the 50th anniversary in 1902.
During museum reconstruction in the 1990s, the original pendulum was temporarily displayed at the Panthéon (1995), but was later returned to the Musée des Arts et Métiers before it reopened in 2000. On April 6, 2010, the cable suspending the bob in the Musée des Arts et Métiers snapped, causing irreparable damage to the pendulum and to the marble flooring of the museum.
An exact copy of the original pendulum has been swinging since 1995 under the dome of the Panthéon, Paris. (Wikipedia)

A good Flickr Friend did a shot something like this, and I really liked it. So here's my version of what I think was a brilliant idea.

Can the word sound till you've been down so low
The future's bright, lit up with no where to go, to and fro the pendulum
Throws
We are here and then we go
My shadow left me long ago

A pendulum, a swinging lever, weighted at the lower end, for regulating the speed of a clock mechanism.
In this case here the Ranunculus bloom is the ‘flower’ clock… the bud represents the pendulum.
Hot and ruffled.
I love seeing where they come from, what they look like at their peak!
So beautifully layered, all coming out of this one bud, this bud unfurling and displaying all this beauty... it NEVER ceases to amaze me.
The evolution, the unfurling, ready for the GRAND opening...
THANX for ALL your comments and visits, so appreciated, M, (*_*)

This is authorized in Guinness Book of World Records in the world's biggest pendulum clock. It is 28 meters in height, 6 meters in diameter of the clockface, but a small waterwheel approximately 1 meter in diameter is power.
It is one of my favorite photography places here.

This interesting stairwell caught my eye on during the Seattle Flickr meetup at the University of Washington campus. The stairwell surrounds a Foucault's pendulum that extends to the dome ceiling high above.
Manifold is about the visual representation of musical chords, inspired by the harmonograph. The harmonograph is an instrument for combining two or more vibrations, usually from two pendulums set at right angles to each other, and for recording them in a single curve. It is used to "draw" music. Shawcross's art appears to have a scientific rationality and deals with topics that related to geometry and philosophy, physics and metaphysics. In this sense, the poetic sculpture Manifold fits his method of working, in which he creates enigmatic sculptural and mechanical montages with different materials and media based on redundant theories. The bronze sculpture refers to "the perfect third", a particular type of musical chord.
History - Big Ben, London, England's Famous Landmark.
The Elizabeth Tower (previously called the Clock Tower), named in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II in her Diamond Jubilee year, more popularly known as Big Ben, was raised as a part of Charles Barry's design for a new palace, after the old Palace of Westminster was largely destroyed by fire on the night of 16 October 1834.The new Parliament was built in a Neo-gothic style. Although Barry was the chief architect of the Palace, he turned to Augustus Pugin for the design of the clock tower, which resembles earlier Pugin designs, including one for Scarisbrick Hall. The design for the tower was Pugin's last design before his final descent into madness and death, and Pugin himself wrote, at the time of Barry's last visit to him to collect the drawings: "I never worked so hard in my life for Mr Barry for tomorrow I render all the designs for finishing his bell tower & it is beautiful."The tower is designed in Pugin's celebrated Gothic Revival style, and is 315 feet (96.0 m) high (roughly 16 storeys).
The bottom 200 feet (61.0 m) of the tower's structure consists of brickwork with sand coloured Anston limestone cladding. The remainder of the tower's height is a framed spire of cast iron. The tower is founded on a 50 feet (15.2 m) square raft, made of 10 feet (3.0 m) thick concrete, at a depth of 13 feet (4.0 m) below ground level. The four clock dials are 180 feet (54.9 m) above ground. The interior volume of the tower is 164,200 cubic feet (4,650 cubic metres).
Despite being one of the world's most famous tourist attractions, the interior of the tower is not open to overseas visitors, though United Kingdom residents are able to arrange tours (well in advance) through their Member of Parliament. However, the tower has no lift, so those escorted must climb the 334 limestone stairs to the top.
Due to changes in ground conditions since construction, the tower leans slightly to the north-west, by roughly 230 millimetres (9.1 in) over 55 m height, giving an inclination of approximately 1/240. This includes a planned maximum of 22 mm increased tilt due to tunnelling for the Jubilee Line extension) Due to thermal effects it oscillates annually by a few millimetres east and west.
Journalists during Queen Victoria's reign called it St Stephen's Tower. As MPs originally sat at St Stephen's Hall, these journalists referred to anything related to the House of Commons as news from "St Stephens" (There is a feature called St Stephen's Tower in the Palace of Westminster. It is a smaller tower over the public entrance to the Houses of Parliament).
The clock's movement is famous for its reliability. The designers were the lawyer and amateur horologist Edmund Beckett Denison, and George Airy, the Astronomer Royal. Construction was entrusted to clockmaker Edward John Dent; after his death in 1853 his stepson Frederick Dent completed the work, in 1854. As the tower was not complete until 1859, Denison had time to experiment: Instead of using the deadbeat escapement and remontoire as originally designed, Denison invented the double three-legged gravity escapement. This escapement provides the best separation between pendulum and clock mechanism. The pendulum is installed within an enclosed windproof box sunk beneath the clockroom. It is 13 feet (4.0 m) long, weighs 660 pounds (300 kg) and beats every 2 seconds. The clockwork mechanism in a room below weighs 5 tons. On top of the pendulum is a small stack of old penny coins; these are to adjust the time of the clock. Adding a coin has the effect of minutely lifting the position of the pendulum's centre of mass, reducing the effective length of the pendulum rod and hence increasing the rate at which the pendulum swings. Adding or removing a penny will change the clock's speed by 0.4 seconds per day.
