This paper deals with the experimental provability of heliocentrism from the scientific Renaissance in the beginning of the 17th century, till the Industrial Revolution of the 1850s. Foucault's famous pendulum demonstration is documented. We underline the importance of high accuracy of observations, the interdependence of hypotheses and theories, the impact of technological breakthroughs, the role of serendipity, the importance of fast and accurate publishing, and the need for precise science communication and teaching.
