Caption Description
Foucault Pendulum, a gift to the United Nations by the Netherlands is a device offering visual proof of the rotation of the earth on its axis. The pendulum comprises a 200-pound gold-plated sphere suspended from the 75-foot ceiling by a stainless steel wire, which holds the sphere to allow the weighted ball to swing freely in any plane. The pendulum, utilizing a principle first demonstrated in the Pantheon in Paris by Jean-Bernard-Leon Foucault, a French physicist, is in the main Lobby of the General Assembly building. Inscribed on the steel shaft supporting the dial under the pendulum is the following message from Queen Juliana: ""lt is a privilege to live today and tomorrow.""
