Eureka!<br />
Eureka is an exclamation originating from the ancient Greek word “heurēka”, which translates roughly as: “I have found it!” The Greek engineer and mathematician<br />
Archimedes purportedly shouted “Eureka!” while running naked through the streets of Syracuse in Sicily, after discovering what is now known as<br />
Archimedes’ principle, while taking a bath. The principle states that any body submerged in a fluid is acted upon by an upward force equal to the weight of<br />
the fluid displaced by the body. Since then, “Eureka!” heralds the successful solution to a difficult task.
