notes on the Foucault pendulum
After the first exhibition in February at Meridian Hall was a success, a second one
followed at the "Pantheon" in Paris in late March 1851. It would be an even more
impressive demonstration. It was the largest and heaviest pendulum the world had seen up to that time, and, of course, it was scientifically endorsed by the
government and the liberal media for credibility and bona fides.
Soufflot's dome of the Pantheon was high, so Foucault had made a pendulum 67 meters long with a large brass bob of 28 kilograms. In the daily publication "Le National" on March 26, 1851, they were writing, "Have you seen the Earth go round? Would you like to see it rotate? Go to the Pantheon on Thursday, and, until further notice, every following Thursday, from ten a.m. until noon. The remarkable experiment devised by M. Leon Foucault is carried out there, in the presence of the public, under the finest conditions in the world. And the pendulum that is suspended by ... expert hand from Soufflot's dome clearly reveals to all eyes the movement of rotation of the Earth."
Soufflot's dome had originally been the Dome of the Basilica of St. Genevieve, a
large and historic Roman Catholic Church. It was the highest and most famous dome in all of Paris, and it had been built in what formerly had been a sacred building that had been blessed with ceremonial and religious importance for all of France. The Abbey and Basilica of St. Genevieve were on Mont St. Genevieve, an elevation overlooking all of Paris. It was named after St. Genevieve, one of the patron saints of France, who as a young shepherd girl had helped inspire and organize the local people to stand against Attila the Hun's armies, when the Huns had been conducting raids and preparing final attacks against Paris in 451 AD.
In 502 AD King Clovis and Queen Clotilde had directed that a special chapel
dedicated to the Holy Apostles be built on the hill where St. Genevieve, who had
been a pious ascetic, had had the habit of praying, as she often followed a path
commemorated later by the name Rue de la Montagne-Sainte-Genevieve. In 512 AD, when she passed away, the people buried St. Genevieve on top of the little mountain overlooking all of Paris, where the chapel was that became Mont St. Genevieve.
When the chapel had been built up into a larger Church and Abbey, it was rededicated in her name as one of the patron saints of France. It also supported a monastery and Catholic school, but in the wake of the Revolution of 1789 the buildings were taken over by the atheistic state, and the main Church was converted into a secular mausoleum. In 1790 the Revolutionary Assembly declared all religious vows void and evicted all residents of the monasteries. There were thirty-nine Augustinian canons at St. Genevieve's who were thrown out. This was the end of the abbey and school that later would become the secularized Pantheon.
It was an historic change, and sixty-one years later, as the Pantheon, it would be used to demonstrate Foucault's pendulum hoax to the world from Soufflot's Dome. So when Foucault's pendulum was showcased there, to a naive and manipulated public, obviously, it was a weighted coup of propaganda for secularism and liberalism. It was symbolic of the political and social powers of "scientific" materialism that were ascendant. Soufflot's Dome, in an historic Church building that had been secularized by the revolutionary and atheistic powers of the state, would be a perfect place to stick a finger in the eye of old Aristotle and the authoritative Bibilical view of a stationary Earth ... at rest at the center of the cosmos.
...
Even Catholic Church scholars and authorities have caved in to this ridiculous and sophomoric deception. For example, in 1911, a Jesuit priest J.G. Hagen wrote a major treatise published by the Vatican called "The Rotation of the Earth: Its Mechanical Proofs Ancient and New." In this book Hagen naively described in detail the Foucault pendulum experiments and credulously explained Foucault's "sine law" and "how it works", giving credence to the basic heresy of heliocentrism. Hagen's writing made it clear that it was his opinion that Foucault's experimental and theoretical proof was finally convincing.
Even the Vatican II modernist Pope John Paul II would make official apologies to
Galileo and the liberal media, for publicity's sake, in October, 1992, over the old
and inane and unscientific heresy of heliocentrism, which still is against the
unanimous opinion of the early Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and contrary to scripture and all scientific observations. Heliocentrism has not even a thread of valid scientific evidence in its favor even down to today.
"Ubi deest hoc orbis", where this circle ends, non compos mentis sunt. It is sad
that rubes and many innocent minded people 2013 are expected to follow a Foucault pendulum and then believe that the Earth is moving and orbiting the Sun, when all that they can discover is that it is the pendulum bob, in fact, that is moving around and around, not the Earth.
It has been a question of bias really, but they have been introduced so smoothly, with only the most impeccable, practical, and scientific principles in mind, of course, but these pendulums are an absurd deception and make an ironic proof for an Earth that is evidently immobile. They are ridiculous and offer a counter-intuitive case for the old Earth of Hipparchus, Aristotle, Plato, Ptolemy and the Church and the Bible.
"Immanis pecoris, custos immanior ipse" … of a monstrous flock, the more monstrous guardian.
Skipping forward over some of the scientific materialist and revolutionary history
and background to 1932, it was then that the Bolsheviks raised a monstrous one in St. Isaac's Cathedral in "Leningrad". And the liberal and secularized Netherlands would donate an expensive one to the UN in 1955, one year after the first Bilderberger meetings in the Netherlands.
etc.
St. Genevieve's feast day is January 3.
