Beard Award-winning Houston chef's new restaurant now open in Montrose
Houston may be home to an ever-increasing number of James Beard Award-winning chefs, but a new restaurant from a JBA winner is still a special moment in the city's culinary landscape.

Alperen Şengün's life should get easier this season. Will he be more efficient?
Houston will ask less of Alperen Şengün as Fred VanVleet returns, but efficiency, defense and rebounding remain key questions this season.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekMforMachinery Foucault's Pendulum, the very 1st direct, physical visualization of the Earth's rotation on its axis that did not rely on looking at the stars! (More cool, nerdy mechanical & scientific details in Alt-Text.) #Photography #Photographers #ECK #Physics #Science
Per Google's cool explanation: "While astronomers had long calculated that the Earth rotates, Foucault's apparatus provided the first local, terrestrial proof that did not rely on looking at the stars.
Here is how the device functions across mechanical and scientific principles:

1. Mechanical Behavior (What is actually happening)
• The Law of Inertia: According to Newton's First Law of Motion, an object in motion stays in motion along the same path unless acted upon by an outside force. When the pendulum is released, it is mechanically locked into a fixed plane of oscillation relative to space.

• The Free Pivot: The pendulum is suspended by a specialized, low-friction universal joint or ball bearing collar at the ceiling. This design ensures that as the building and the ceiling mount turn along with the Earth's rotation, no rotational twist or torque is transferred to the wire. The wire remains unbothered while the room revolves around it.

• The Apparent Rotation: Because the pendulum retains its original trajectory and the room moves, spectators standing on the ground see the swing path slowly turn (clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, counter-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere)

• January 1851: Foucault successfully conducted his first private trial of the experiment in the basement of his home using a 2-meter wire.
• February 1851: He gave his first public demonstration in the Meridian Room of the Paris Observatory.
• March 1851: The famous large-scale public installation opened under the grand dome of the Panthéon in Paris, featuring a 28-kilogram bob suspended by a 67-meter wire.
The specific device shown in your image is the Albert & Ethel Herzstein Foucault Pendulum, a popular landmark installation housed at the Houston Museum of Natural Science.
