Today 15 December is the birthday of Henri Becquerel who was a French physicist, Nobel laureate, and the first person to discover radioactivity. For work in this field he, along with Marie Curie and Pierre Curie, received the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics.

The 'eureka' moment of Archimedes is a famous story that illustrates how a sudden insight can solve a problem. According to the story, Archimedes was asked by King Hiero II of Syracuse to determine whether a crown made for him was pure gold or mixed with silver. Archimedes did not know how to measure the purity of gold without damaging the crown, so he was puzzled by this problem.

One day, he went to take a bath and noticed that the water level rose as he immersed himself in the tub. He realized that the amount of water displaced by his body was equal to the volume of his body, and that this principle could be applied to measure the volume of any irregular object. He then thought that by comparing the weight and volume of the crown with those of a pure gold sample, he could determine if the crown was adulterated or not. He was so excited by this discovery that he jumped out of the bath and ran naked through the streets, shouting “Eureka!” which means “I have found it!” in Greek.

This story is often used as an example of the eureka effect, which is the common human experience of suddenly understanding a previously incomprehensible problem or concept. The eureka effect is also known as the Aha! moment or insight. It involves a shift in perspective or a break in mental fixation that allows the solution to appear clear and obvious. The eureka effect is associated with positive emotions and a sense of confidence in the solution.

The eureka moment of Archimedes is also the basis of his famous principle, which states that when a body is immersed in a fluid, it experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body. This principle explains how ships float, submarines dive, hot air balloons fly, and many other phenomena involving buoyancy.
