When he invented the pendulum and was given the Copley Medal in 1855.
What causes the foucault pendulum to change direction?
It doesn't change direction; there is no force on it (perpendicular to the plane in which it swings) that would cause it to do so. It APPEARS to change direction relative to the Earth, but the Earth is a rotating frame of reference. If you watch the pendulum from a frame of reference above the Earth and the pendulum, you would see that it swings back and forth in its plane of oscillation. See the famous movie FRAMES of REFERENCE, with Professors Hume and Ivey, made in 1959, to see an excellent demonstration of this. Using a rotating frame, they show that a camera in the rotating frame appears to show the pendulum changing direction. Using a camera above the rotating frame, fixed to the floor, they show the pendulum never changes direction; only the frame rotates. . It swings back and forth in the same plane. There is no force on it to make it change
