Eureka Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Eureka is a famous exclamation attributed to Archimedes. He reportedly uttered the word when he suddenly understood buoyancy, subsequently leaping out of his bathtub and running through the streets of Athens naked. "Eureka" is a simple form of the Greek verb heuriskein, meaning "to find"; it means "I have found it!" As a result, Eureka is a common interjection to usually express the triumphant discovery of a significant scientific or intellectual fact.The expression is quoted as the state motto of California, referring to the momentous discovery of gold near Sutter's Mill in 1848.
Several places in the United States are named for the expression:
- Eureka, California and Yreka, California
- Eureka, Kansas
- Eureka, Missouri
- Eureka, Montana
- Eureka, South Dakota
- Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
- Eureka, Nunavut in Canada.
It is also the name of the European Union's research and development organization, see EUREKA.
There is also the 1854 Australian miners' revolt at the Eureka Stockade.
