Eureka ! Eureka !
filed in Uncategorized on Sep.21, 2008
While surfing the internet, I have found the story behind the principle of buoyancy. A Greek mathematician and physicist went swimming one day. While doing so, he pondered about why he could float in the water.
“ Eureka ! Eureka !,” he shouted when he fully understood buoyancy. “I found it!” it is told that he did not even bother to cover his nakedness at the moment of discovery, scandalizing the whole town with his exuberance. Hence the discovery of Archimedes Principle, a discovery vital in the construction of modern sea craft. Memories Frozen in Time
