Scientific paper

This French physicist is best remembered for his famous pendulum
experiment of 1851, which proved directly that the earth spins. Yet
Foucault also clinched the case against the particle theory of light,
invented the gyroscope, perfected the reflecting telescope and measured
the distance to the sun.
