Hello everyone
I am Daniela Titan!
And today I am going to tell you the eureka
effect's story.
(Yes this is the right way to pronounce it!
Eureka!)
This is the aha! effect that refers to the
common human experience of suddenly understanding
something, a problem or concept that they
didn't understand previously.
And here is the story:
we have Archimedes minding his own business
and suddenly the king calls him and then he
asks him
to detect whether this crown was pure gold,
or if the goldsmith had cheated and he had
added some silver.
And the fun part?
Without ruining the crown!
Archimedes was like what the zeus!
And after this weird morning he decided to
take a bath in the public baths
he noticed that the water was displaced after
he entered the bath
and the volume of water is equal to the volume
of the body that is immersed into the water.
(Well that sounds reasonable.)
That means he could use the density in order
to measure if the crown was pure or not.
If the density of the crown was the same as
the the pure gold's then the goldsmith was
alright.
And that sudden realisation made him so happy
that he started yelling around EUREKA!
Naked.
Which means "I found it "in GreeK.
Unfortunately he had found out that the goldsmith
had added some silver
And guess who had some bad news after all.
It was the goldsmith, he was put to death
So that's all!
And I hope I was helpfull!
You can always ask me another interesting
question so define it for you, in the comments!
