Set your clocks back this Sunday! ⏰ Despite the myth, Benjamin Franklin didn’t actually invent Daylight Saving Time—he proposed adjusting schedules to save candlelight in an essay from 1784. At The Franklin Institute, our four-story Foucault’s Pendulum shows the true motion of time: Earth’s daily rotation. As the planet turns beneath it, the pendulum appears to change direction, toppling a peg every 20-25 minutes. 🌍 Use your extra hour to visit and explore endless science at TFI! 🫀 #FranklinIn

Lightin’ it up green for the Birds! 🦅💚 Benjamin Franklin Memorial is glowing in honor of Super Bowl LIX—come snap a pic with Ben and get in the spirit. The Memorial is always open to visitors when TFI is open—no ticket needed! 😊 It took a little Super Bowl magic (okay, fine… maybe just some copper) to turn this fire green. Science sports = a winning combo! #GOBIRDS 🏈🔥 #Eagles #PhiladelphiaEagles #VisitPhilly #SuperBowl #SuperBowlLIX #BirdGang #FlyEaglesFly #FranklinInstitute #BenFranklin #P

Tu penses savoir comment l’électricité a été inventée ? De Benjamin Franklin et ses expériences avec la foudre, à Nikola Tesla qui a révolutionné le courant alternatif, l’histoire de l’électricité est bien plus folle que ce que tu imagines. Sans ces découvertes, le monde moderne n’existerait tout simplement pas. #dualtron #ninebot #fyp #pourtoi #thunder
