CREATIVE INSIGHTS

Ancient Greek scholar and mathematician Archimedes finally arrived at a method for assessing the purity of metal while he was soaking in the tub. If the story is to be believed, he was so excited by the discovery that he ran naked through the streets of Syracuse shouting, “Eureka,” which is Greek for “I’ve found it.” More than 2,000 years later, boy wonder and television pioneer Philo Farnsworth suddenly figured out a way to generate a video image while he was methodically mowing the fields of hay on his family’s farm.23 As the well-known legend of Archimedes and the lesser-known story of Philo Farnsworth both demonstrate, some of the world’s greatest discoveries have come from a burst of creative insight.
