RE: Archimedes' Principle Discovered While Taking A Bath !
Actually, the entire bath and Eureka story is a myth. But the story is cool to be told.
PS: you may try to really redo the experiment, and you will see that the real world will fight theory hard ;)
Yeah it is actually hard to know what really happened 2300 years ago , thanks for reading
But this has never happened as if you try, you will see it does not work that way. This is also a story written hundreds of years later ;)
This very week did the same experiment with different classes: to find the density of a stone without using a balance, using the two laws of displacement of water for an object floating and sinking.
Let me rephrase myself: you can get a result, but the uncertainty on it is huge compared to other ways to get the result :)
Yeah that's right but this was the only way they could do it 2300 years ago
